First criminal case filed two years after gun background check initiative became law

Hope he's a Pastor

So,far the guy sounds like an idiot. He sold to a 20 yr old. I've sold a couple of guns & I required id & ccp. He should have atleast checked the buyers age.

To those that like to openly flaunt the law, whether I-594 or SB941 here in Oregon, and do so claiming that no case has ever been prosecuted, this should be an eye opener. The real question here is this - are YOU willing to give up your freedom so that someone else can buy your gun without a check? Is it really worth it? Are you willing to pay that price with jail time?

I can't stand the stupid law, but to naively believe that no one will be prosecuted under these laws is foolish at best. This just proves you can thumb your nose up at the law, but in the end, it may come back to bite you.

As for this guy, selling a handgun to a 20 year old, with no ID even checked, that was just stupid on his part, and now he's going to end up paying for it - all for a cheap a$$ .22 pistol.

What was that like a week or a year after I594 took effect? Another case illustrating that criminals will get their guns one way or another.

Well, under this case, intent seems to be irrelevant. Just likely a witch hunt against folks like us. They're probably celebrating that they are getting their first case in 2 years

I willing to bet this charge goes away in a plea agreement

I kinda figured - but the 'intent' defense only works if you're an anti - we don't get to claim that. Double standards, hypocrisy and all that

You got that right....

 

[Caveman Jim]

Well it only took them a year to file the charge..... what's up with that?

 

[Joe13]

Gah! That site is full of pop ups for phones.

It never once that I could tell between ads said if he would have passed a BGC for say a shotgun and been able to walk out of the store with it and still kill the dude?

First Criminal Charge Filed under Two-Year-Old Gun Control Measure

The Island County, Washington prosecutor has filed what may be the first-ever criminal charge for violation of a controversial "universal background check" law approved by voters in 2014, almost one year after an Oak Harbor man was murdered with an allegedly illegally-transferred pistol, according to KING5 News and the Northwest News Network.

how did they trace the gun back to the seller if it was never recovered, presumably thrown in the ocean....?

 

[clearconscience]

I hope his lawyer read the article about the portland priest.

He told on himself.....

Mercado gave a statement to detectives in which he said that he met with Nunez and provided him a .22 caliber-pistol.

My guess is that Mercado didn't know the laws and ended up ratting on himself.

Turns out I was psychic.

 

[Mark W.]

He has been charged there has been no prosecution the article says the guy moved out of Oak Harbor and they don't know where he is. So this is still nothing.
