I don’t doubt that - the question is why did he do it?
Like you said, he was buying at retail, and apparently not selling for much more than retail.

I didn’t read the warrant and just read that he bought and sold guns, presumably at gun shows. I don’t think that, in itself, is illegal. Maybe he “cut corners” on the legal paperwork.
As to why he did it… lots of guys have second part-time jobs or side small businesses to help support their family. Hell, when I was younger for a long time I worked a very early morning gig sorting packages for UPS before going to my regular job.
