APNewsBreak: Ex-Marines arrested in weapons scheme (AP) – 3 hours ago
Source: AP

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal agents have arrested three retired Marines suspected of selling illegal assault weapons to a notorious Los Angeles street gang, The Associated Press has learned. The suspected ringleader, Adam Gitschlag, who served in Iraq and was once based at Camp Pendleton, was arrested at his Orange County home Nov. 2 as part of an operation carried out by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, as well as military investigators and local police.

The arrests were announced Tuesday, a week after a Navy SEAL in San Diego and two others were charged with smuggling machine guns from Iraq for sale on the black market.

Investigative documents obtained by the AP state that Gitschlag oversaw the sale of two cases containing firearms, including an AK-47, two Russian and Romanian variants of the weapon and two other semiautomatic rifles.

Under California law, it is illegal to own or sell unregistered assault weapons.

5. NRA fully supports the law (written in 1934) that keeps civilians from having machine guns
or selling them to others.

So, not sure what the NRA has to do with this.
