    Ignoring a warning from the ATF about not having a FFL was obviously not a good idea, nor was using a trade name.

    At the plea hearing, Ripp acknowledged that he sold firearms without a license from October 2015 to December 2016. This occurred after agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives warned Ripp in July 2015 that dealing firearms without a license is unlawful.

    Ripp attended gun shows throughout and outside of Wisconsin, and sold firearms using the trade name “Son of a Gun.” Ripp sold multiple AR-15-type pistols to an undercover agent in 2016.

    Typical PR work: Prosecutor's tootin their horn "We nailed him". Where's the beef? This is just another big bust Court Win hoopla that is always announced before the actual Sentence is passed which always is lighter than the 10 years, $250K (per each count) we are threatened with when we read the Laws. Never, in all my years; have I ever seen the Max Sentence given.

    We do get a laff over the dumb shit continuing after he was warned but need t wait till May 8th to find out what he gets.
