This gang member was buying guns through a straw buyer and then selling them to his criminal friends....the straw buyer passed the background checks.....and then the felon who bought them did not insist on getting a background check himself.....
This felon is not allowed to own, carry or buy or sell guns......this is under existing laws that we already have.
How did they catch him......the old fashioned way.....they used a snitch.
This story shows that licensing gun owners, universal background checks and registering guns are not needed to catch illegal gun sellers.......
Felon acquired 40+ guns for resell
Lazaro Salas, a known gang member, has been charged with dealing guns without a license and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested him in January. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
According to court documents, authorities set up the buy after they were tipped off by a confidential informant, who acted as a straw buyer providing Salas between 40 and 60 guns from September 2013 to November 2015. Salas would resell the guns and at least two of them were recovered by the Chicago Police Department from crime scenes involving members of other gangs.
