Michael Albert Focia was convicted by a jury in June on the charges of dealing in firearms without a license and two counts of selling guns to people who were outside the state of Alabama, court records show.
According to the Department of Justice, Focia was selling firearms on the dark web, parts of the internet not accessible by the general public.

2 posts this AM, both proving that the existing gun laws can work as intended when properly enforced.
Thanks for the 2nd amendment support, keep it up.
