In the top photo, what's that thing on the left?
Looks like carrots. And that's a serious fire arm.
Just a businessman...trying to make a living (with a machine gun).
Convicted felon in possession of a firearm?
Hmm, he was not legally allowed to own or purchase a firearm. I honestly believe I saw these two at Academy sports a few weeks ago buying a gun. He picked out that AR15 style .22 rifle and she filled out the ATF paperwork.
It would be unfortunate if local law enforcement checked if she straw purchased those guns for him. It would be a federal gun charge for her if that were the case. Seems worth it to investigate and get the word out that straw purchasing guns for felons will be investigated and prosecuted.
@6:15 AM - "Machine gun" Seriously? Are you a Yankee snowbird? It's a rifle. It's not a "machine gun," nor is it an "assault rifle."
@2:16 AM - It looks like a homemade sound suppressor.
6:39 - agree, if true this is an easy straw purchase case and the ATF should investigate Academy, and the employee who processed the 4473. In the least, Academy should be subject to a show cause hearing on their FFL.
@ 2:16 the item in the left of the top photo appears to be a homemade silencer.
Amateur Gun identifier here.
The pistol appears to be a Taurus Millennium G2 9mm
The rifle appears to be a Mossberg International 715T in .22LR
The Mossberg is notorious for jamming. it is not a real AR15. I don't know much about the Taurus except they have never had a good reputation for reliability.
@ 2:16
That is a makeshift gun suppressor (silencer) made from an oil filter and likely wrapped around the barrel of that AR style .22 rifle.
So, he's either a Navy SEAL or a deer hunter if he has a suppressor, right?
That's some serious shit if a felon (or anybody else) has a homemade silencer for his .22 semi. He wasn't shooting rats off the cypress fence out back.
As to investigating Academy, since when is a record made of who purchases a firearm? I didn't know we were licensed firearm owners. And even if the authorities *could* tie a purchase to her, there's no proof she bought it for him. It was simply in the house that was busted. She would claim she bought it for herself.
If you put some black furniture on a .22 to make it look tactical, people go absolutely insane. Better ban it!!!
Can we talk about the fact that's not a pound of weed? Maybe a couple ounces dried at best.
@ I Prefer A .380...
Surely you jest. There's a record of every serial number for every gun transferred every time. ATF is serious business.
@ I Prefer A .380,
Every FFL is required to store a completed ATF Form 4473 for 10 years and produce this form on request by law enforcement. This is the record used to identify a weapon transfer by serial number and also the approval of the Brady Bill Instant Background Check.
The ATF or FBI itself does not, in theory, keep a record.
They are charging the felon with possession because a felon has no right to have a firearm in their home, period. You cannot make the excuse that it belongs to a non-felon family member. It is also very easy to fingerprint the weapon, magazines, and ammunition. If the felon's fingerprints are on the weapon, the charge is open-shut.
Ain't prohibition grand!
and a digital scale, a grinder, couple of kief screens . . . if he still had amateur status, he was well on his way to turning pro.
@7:19, 6:15 here - I did that just for you! I figured someone would get their panties in a wad about me calling that semi-auto varmint rifle a machine gun. Y'all are so predictable!
10:07, if you had read the release instead of just looking at the pretty pictures you would have seen that approximately a pound was seized
@12:43 PM is a TROLL.
Apparently the suspects never saw Reefer Madness in grade school.
6:39 could be hinds new sheriff! 6:39 “seeing these two” on the day of the purchase in academy. That’s classic. Uh huh..
