No Guns founder pleads not guilty to gun charges

The founder of an antiviolence group called No Guns pleaded not guilty Thursday to federal weapons charges.

Hector "Big Weasel" Marroquin is accused of selling an assault rifle, a machine gun, two pistols and two silencers to undercover federal agents last fall. He could face up to 50 years in prison if convicted.

Marroquin, 51, of Downey, is a onetime member of the 18th Street gang who founded No Guns in 1996. No Guns received $1.5 million from the city as a subcontractor on anti-gang efforts, but its contract was canceled last year.

Marroquin is charged with three counts of manufacture, distribution and transport for sale of an unlawful assault weapon, along with one count each of machine gun conversion and possession of a silencer. He remains free on $260,000 bail.

It certainly explains his position.
Without prohibitive legislation, the value of his product wouldn't be half so much.
Makes me wonder if Sarah Brady doesn't own firearm related stocks.

Reminds me of the plot of the short Gunsmith Cats series.
Good stuff.

Pierre,

Welcome to the High Road ! I don't think we get many posters from Quebec, but if you're pro-gun you're one of us.
