So.....California has strict gun laws.....in Nevada you still need to go through a federal background check to buy guns legally.....so if you are two convicted felons looking to sell illegal guns to criminals in California..what do you do....you hire straw buyers to buy guns for you...just like these two criminals did.....they ignored California's strict gun control laws, and ignored the gun control laws in Nevada, including the mandatory, federal background check for gun purchases at gun stores.....
And guess what anti gunners......the two buyers...knew they were selling guns to criminals.....and did it anyway.......so even background checks on private sales would not have stopped the convicted criminals from buying these guns.....
Oakland grand jury charges 8 in interstate gun trafficking scheme
Defendants Allec, Kemp, Kam, and Taufi allegedly purchased the guns from licensed dealers in Nevada, while Salevao and Straight acted as middlemen to sell the firearms to Winn and De La Cruz.
The indictment alleges Winn and De La Cruz, convicted criminals prohibited from possessing or receiving firearms, traveled to Reno to purchase the guns and then sold the firearms in the San Francisco Bay Area for cash and drugs. De La Cruz and Winn were also charged with drug dealing offenses, conspiracy to commit robbery and brandishing firearms while committing robbery.
Several illegal transactions are listed in the indictment that occurred from March 2015 to October 2016. Law enforcement officers have recovered a number of the firearms in Oakland and other places around the Bay Area.
