Prieto was a vendor at gun shows in Prescott and would trade firearms from his personal collection, using only cash deals or trades to evade the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the affidavit says, adding that this was corroborated through monitoring with the help of the source.

Likely if he didn't do this, payed taxes on his transactions, he might have not ever been on the radar by investigators to get caught in the first place.

We all got lucky this dude is a dipshit loser and got sloppy. There are more organized pieces of shit out there planning better and not even show up as a blip to the cops.

Liberal gun owner here. I go to gun shows. I avoid the creepy ones.

I frequently get downvoted for telling people it's not that hard to buy a gun without a paper trail, if you're willing.

I do not believe people who are incapable of being friends with delicious potatoes.
