SAN DIEGO — Just months away from being released from federal prison, former Congressman Randy “Duke” Cunningham of Rancho Santa Fe wrote to a federal judge earlier this month asking help to get his rights to carry a gun restored.

But the plea, made in a rambling and sometimes disconsolate letter sent to Judge Larry A. Burns on May 2, was for naught. Burns, who sentenced Cunningham to eight years and four months in prison in 2006, replied he had no power to help him.

The correspondence is the latest missive from the Tucson, Ariz., federal prison where Cunningham has been serving his sentence. The former Republican congressman pleaded guilty to conspiracy and tax evasion and admitted to receiving gifts, cash and fancy trips from defense contractors in exchange for steering government work their way.

Since his imprisonment he has denied taking bribes and said he regretted his plea. In the letter he said he is scheduled to be released to a halfway house in December.

But as a felon, Cunningham is prohibited from legally carrying a gun.

I’d ask this post to be removed. The intert00bs are NOT anonymous. Doesn't matter to me. I've already ventured into 'spooky' territory. I've been dealing with the internet before it had a GUI. I'm an old f*&& who doesn't care anymore. Let 'em find me.

I don't know who the joke got started but HIT IT LAZ!
