Indicative how easy it is to traffic guns from states with lax gun laws, NYC seized 6,500 illegal guns last year.

NASSAU COUNTY, NY — A South Carolina man who formerly lived in Freeport was arraigned Wednesday on a 59-count indictment in connection with the sale of nearly a dozen illegal firearms, Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly said Wednesday.
Kim Lilly, 45, of Greenville, South Carolina, sold illegal firearms, including rifles and pistols, between August 2023 and January 2024, Donnelly said. He was arrested when entering Nassau County in early April while in possession of two firearms, the DA said.
Lilly, if convicted, faces up to 25 years in prison. He is due back in court May 23.
"This defendant allegedly made several trips up and down the I-95 corridor and trafficked dangerous illegal guns into Nassau County," Donnelly said in a news release. "When Kim Lilly was arrested on April 3, police executing a search warrant found another two handguns, one of which was defaced and hidden beneath the driver side floor mat of Lilly’s car."
The DA said it is believed that the weapons were purchased from a pawn shop in South Carolina and then trafficked to Nassau by Lilly.

Ok look, they caught the criminal. And what he was doing in SC (straw sales) was illegal there as well.
What is that about "lax gun laws" again? Be specific.
Very easy to acquire guns in SC, multiple guns. Takes months to get a license in NY, more severe background checks and you won’t be buying multiple gun in a pawn shop.
Why do you think he drove all the way to SC to get the guns.
So, let me get this straight. The 50,000 murder-happy thugs running the streets of NYC, killing and maiming people left and right all over town, are not at fault here....it's South Carolina's fault? What a relief. I knew our thugs was just good boys who didn't do nothin wrong. It's those southerners and lax gun laws again causing all this mayhem up here in our streets.

He is an SC resident, and an opportunist criminal that got caught.
Nothing he did was legal, as he lied about his intent on ATF form 4473. Over and over.
If there is any proof the SC pawn shops did not make him run the required federal forms, post that proof here.
And obviously there is a big criminal element in NY wanting those illegal guns.
You guys can celebrate the onerous conditions of our constitutional rights in your blue states all you like, but bitching about states that dont do these things is just pissing in the wind. Should New York be able to define how SC and other states that pay attention to our constitutional rights do business? Get your nose out of it, and keep busting the obvious criminals if they come to your state. Full stop.
In the past, good old gun grabbing mayor Bloomberg tried to co-op straw sales laws by sponsoring straw buyers to drive down the coast and illegally purchase guns, in a sting type bust, along with other "investigative" type, out of state actions regarding gun sales in other states. Activist politicians skirting the laws it certainly seems.
As for gun running up the coast, liberal groups have complained about "profiling" when police, using good policing techniques to identify potential gun runners, actually catch them, and the racial demographics make progressives squirm. Are these progressives more devoted to "social justice" rules than they are to straw buyers bringing guns into their blue states?

Anything is easy if one is willing to break laws and risk 25 years in prison to do it. A lot of laws were broken by him and whom ever he fenced those firearms to. Another law or two would have prevented it though, right ?

Well, at least the cops were considerate enough to arrest the man ALIVE and put him in jail rather than break his front door down before daylight and KILL him without even a trial. That's an improvement.
