Rich Wyatt hasn't had much to smile about in recent years. File photo. Rich Wyatt , the star of American Guns , a once-popular Discovery Channel program that showcased him, his telegenic family, including wife Renee and kids Paige and Kurt, and his business, Wheat Ridge's Gunsmoke Guns, has been sentenced to 78 months, or six and a half years, in prison for conspiring to deal firearms without a license and multiple tax charges.

The verdict, which was delivered nearly a year after Wyatt was found guilty of these offenses, represents the ultimate comedown for a once-prominent TV personality who rubbed shoulders with celebrities such as rock star Ted Nugent and even a former president of the United States, George W.

Here's the Discovery Channel description of American Guns for the launch of the show's second season, from our previous coverage: The Wyatts are your typical suburban family who just happened to own one of the premiere firearms facilities in the world.

Rich Wyatt and his wife Renee own Gunsmoke, located outside Denver, Colorado, where they buy, sell and trade guns — from hand cannons to hunting rifles.

And if you don't see what you want, they'll build one for you — from nothing more than a block of metal. Gunsmoke has the largest and most experienced group of gunsmiths in the state. When the Wyatts aren't building or selling guns, they're shooting them. No gun leaves their shop without being test fired by the family first.

Richard Wyatt, 54, was found guilty last year in U. District Court on 10 felony counts. During a statement Wyatt made to the court, he talked about writing an essay in the eighth grade about wanting to open a gun shop.

Wyatt said he thought his reality show would put firearms in a positive light in America during divisive times. Wyatt apologized for what his wrongful actions have done to his family, friends and the community. Chief Judge Marcia Krieger asked Wyatt to clarify what he felt he did wrong. Wyatt asked Krieger to consider his children — who he said have been beaten up and forced to change their name because of his actions — when delivering his sentence.
