A Nebraska man has been charged with 6 counts of illegally selling firearms to known felons. Even though he is not even licensed to sell firearms, Ashley Gerbig claims that since he was selling from his ‘personal collection,’ what he did was perfectly legal. This personal collection is a very extensive one, as the ATF recovered 678 guns and 13 grenades when they raided Gerbig’s home.
Valtro 12 gauge tactical shotgun, Sig Sauer .40 caliber pistol, Century International Arms Inc. AK-74 assault-style rifle, Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and Nodak Spud LLC AK-47-type side-folding stock assault rifle” without being required to provide a permit, the Lincoln Journal Star reported…
Court records indicated that authorities launched the investigation after an anonymous tipster who bought a gun over the Internet complained that Gerbig told him he didn’t need a Federal Firearms License (FFL) to sell guns that he personally owned. The tipster thought it was unusual that Gerbig charged sales tax for personal sales…
The Journal Star reported on Thursday that Gerbig also claimed he did business with members of law enforcement. The ATF said he had applied for a Federal Firearms License, but was rejected for violating the federal Gun Control Act. His father reportedly lost his license in 2010 after also violating the same law.
