Reply #1: Weapons sold at Don's Guns tied to crimes (IN)

[MrBenchley]

The corrupt gun industry....

"Three Hoosiers were swept up in a federal weapons-trafficking investigation Monday that again spotlighted firearms originally sold by Don's Guns and Galleries in Indianapolis.
The cases involved "straw purchases" of at least 28 guns from Don's, deals in which prosecutors say a person bought guns legally and resold them to people barred from possessing firearms.
The U.S. Attorney in Chicago said 11 of those guns were recovered by Chicago police during criminal investigations.
The charges were part of an investigation that turned up a dozen cases, involving as many as 16 suspects and the illegal selling and buying of more than 135 guns. Federal officials said they expected to have all 16 in custody by late Monday."
