Investigators Trace Gun Used By Marathon Bombing Suspect To Maine

All guns used in gun crimes should be easily traced back to last legal owner.

If that person sold his gun without a background check, he goes to jail.

All assault weapons should have pink slips.

Within days of the Boston Marathon bombing last year, Tamerlan Tsarnaev used a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun to kill an MIT security officer and to critically wound a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officer. He had the gun, a black Ruger P95, in his hands during a shoot-out with police in Watertown, Mass. on April 19, 2013, and he ultimately threw it at officers before he was killed.

The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that the gun has been traced back to a gang in Portland, Maine.

According to the Times, the weapon was originally purchased legally in 2011 at a Cabela's store in Maine by a man named Danny Sun Jr., a Los Angeles native living in a Portland suburb. Sun was arrested on May 1 last year, on a warrant related to a traffic case. But government sources told the Times that Sun was questioned about the gun, and told police he had given it to a man named Biniam Tsegai, an immigrant from Eritrea with a long rap sheet who goes by the name "Icy."

On May 23, 2013, Tsegai was arrested on a warrant connected to a 2009 robbery, and he was later charged with conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, according to the Times.

Selling the gun to "Icy" presumably without a background check SHOULD BE A FEDERAL CRIME!!

Given that it is impossible for a private citizen to conduct a background check on someone else, why should this be a crime? If he knew, it already is a crime. If he didnt know, why should it be?
As usual your knowledge of gun laws and your stupidity trip you up.

Absolutely not. They should hold the person who committed the crime responsible.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Hate to break it to you but private sales are not required to have a background check and NO ONE is currently proposing they do require one. The last attempt to do that lost by a large margin in Congress.

Let's see, the feds, namely the FBI had credible information from Russian intelligence that two "legal" immigrants might be planning a terrorist attack but Holder was too busy shipping illegal weapons to Mexico to pay attention. Is that how it works?

Yes because constitutionally protected rights should certainly be subject to your asinine whims just because, well, because you demand it.

Face it, the right to bear arms is protected under the second amendment. It has been affirmed by the SCOTUS. You cannot track me or others who are exercising their constitutional rights any more than you can demand to track votes or church attendance. It is asinine and shows exactly what you think of protected rights.

Should you want to change this there is only ones solution and that is to amend the constitution to change or expunge the second. It is not going to happen but go on ant try if you really feel that strongly about it.
