CITY OF CHICAGO SUES INDIANA GUN STORE

by Bob Walsh

The crime-ridden shithole of Chicago, Illinois is suing Westforth Sports in Gary, Indiana, alleging the store has engaged in a pattern of illegal gun sales that has resulted in hundreds of "illegal" guns hitting the streets in Chicago.

The suit, filed thru the EVERYTOWN FOR GUN SAFETY SUPPORT FUND, seeks unspecified damages and wants to require the store to cease practices contributing to gun trafficking.  

The suit alleges the store knowing sells to strawman purchasers, people who intend to illegally resell the guns in Chicago.  The suit further asserts that the store has been repeatedly cited by BATF for knowingly selling to straw purchasers and has twice recommended the stores license be revoked.

I personally know of one gun store in San Leandro where I used to live that had their license revoked.  A deep dive audit of their records by BATF revealed that over a period of several years several THOUSAND guns disappeared from their inventory with no record of disposition.  The clear implication was the store was routinely and regularly selling guns for cash with zero paperwork.
