A Phoenix man was arrested after authorities discovered he had been selling firearms from his home without the required federal license. Investigators say the man conducted numerous gun sales and advertised his inventory online, despite not having permits for dealing firearms. Police seized more than a dozen guns during a search of his property, and he faces federal charges for operating as an unlicensed gun dealer.
Federal law requires anyone who engages in the business of selling firearms to obtain a license, meant to ensure background checks and oversight. In this case, neighbors expressed concern about the volume of transactions happening at the residence, which initially sparked the investigation. If convicted, the man could face substantial fines and prison time for violating federal firearms regulations.
