A man is being questioned in the fatal shooting nearly a week ago of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO in New York City after he was found Monday in Pennsylvania with a gun and a suppressor like those used in the homicide, law enforcement officials briefed on the situation tell CNN.
How do you find a person who sells guns illegally?
It’s not illegal…
If I want to sell a gun. I can sell it to a person I see walking down the street without even asking what their name is. If you’ve ever walked by a gunshow parking lot, that’s something that actually happens.
They could have just gotten out of 40 years of prison, unless I explicitly know they can’t own a gun, I literally and legally can’t break any laws by selling them one.
Which is why lots of “private seller” don’t ask names.
I don’t think that’s as easy as you think
If you don’t want to wait on a gun show, lots of online websites exist to facilitate private sales.
I’m not saying it should be like this, I’m saying this is currently American law.
And there are a metric shit ton of loopholes, that no one seems interested in closing.

Walking around a gun show to find someone selling guns for cash out of their trunk seems like a really good way to meet a cop lol
Again, it’s 100% legal… So not sure why you’d worry about meeting a cop
I dunno, it doesn’t feel like me explaining anything has had any effect. I’m sorry I couldn’t explain this better.
I guess my state is pretty strict. All sales for any reason go through a licensed dealer.
