They really need to start firing these partisan propaganda whores pretending to be Journalists.
If Federal charges are being filed OBVIOUSLY there is no “open and unregulated market” involved but instead a criminal act.
MORE regulation is not going to do anything to people all ready breaking existing law.

Bad actor. This guy was running an illegal gun business, ignored warnings. Not being responsible in selling guns. Hurts all of us, especially the dead cop.
Read the whole article, not bad really. The problem is that ATF dropped the ball. They knew he was dealing guns, not just a citizen conducting legal private sales. Wouldn’t be surprised in details to find that the ATF and others were tracking and monitoring all of this. The number of guns trading hands was substantial. Interesting how quickly they tracked back the gun once it was used. Yes, bet they or other law enforcement folks were neck deep in this.
Controversial web site? Baby Glock? The invisible one that can’t be seen by x-ray or metal detectors? That “Baby Glock”? Then again, it is the chitcago trib so there is that. Prayers up for the LEO.
Imagine what it would be like if newspaper dealers had to check the criminal backgrounds of their customers. Would that represent freedom of the press?
Any person who is free to buy a car should be free to buy a gun. The crime rate would be unaffected. Without all the federal infringements California’s mountain of laws would collapse.
