Not legal advice. This range is the statutory penalty as written in the law — it is not “your sentence.” What is NOT accounted for here: Priors, attempt, concurrence, plea, discretion, parole rules, ancillary orders, listing/delisting of terrorist entities. If you face a real charge, consult a licensed lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction.
