Alleged Militia Leader Sentenced to Prison in Pa.

ERIE, Pa. -- An alleged militia leader who authorities claimed built a
bunker on his land and stockpiled weapons for a showdown with federal
agents was sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison.
 
George Bilunka, 60, pleaded guilty in August to possessing unregistered
firearms -- two homemade land mines, a modified rifle and a homemade
machine gun.
 
He also acknowledged that he and another alleged militia leader sold a
copy of a Sten gun -- a British-made World War II 9 mm machine gun -- to
an undercover federal agent for $300.
 
On Monday, a federal judge sentenced Bilunka to nearly 3 years in prison,
saying it could have been disastrous if someone happened upon the weapons
Bilunka kept at his home.
 
"I can't imagine anything worse," U.S. District Judge Maurice B. Cohill
Jr. said.
 
Bilunka also was sentenced to serve three years of supervised release
when he leaves prison.
 
Federal prosecutors said Bilunka is the self-proclaimed leader of a
militia called the Christian American Patriots Survivalists, who believe
that the end of the world is near.
 
Bilunka built a bunker on his land, about 70 miles north of Pittsburgh,
and filled it with six months of food and supplies, federal prosecutors
said. He also had about 60 legally owned guns at his home and trained his
group to kill SWAT officers, prosecutors said.
