Knoxville Gun Show Used to Move Firearms into NYC

Well, this isn't good! The BATF and New York City Police Department have arrested a 70 year old Blountville man for selling a large quantity of firearms, that were moved to New York City.  He operated as a private vendor at the RK Gun Shows, here in Knoxville.

Not good at all  I read story but can’t find a picture of him.  Last show  I noticed an increased what I thought was ATF presence. I hope no one uses this to ban shows   Hate this happened   It will be interesting to follow the case

That guy knew exactly what he was doing and deserves the harshest sentence they can give him. This is exactly the type of thing we DON'T want happening at gun shows.

They are screwed.

If he willingly broke the law, prosecute him! I’ll not stick up for someone who does not respect the rule of law.

If this was entrapment, I rescind my previous statement and call for the ATF agents to be prosecuted.

I’ve witnessed both through the years at gun shows. Neither are good.

Hard to believe this is entrapment. Too many guns over several different dates. I believe he knew what he was doing.

I wonder if he worked the Meadowview and Gray shows ?
