Colorado Gun Shop Owner Convicted of Illegally Selling Guns

[Milchshake]

I miss when the Discovery Channel had documentaries and actual science. Kind of a new angle on straw sales. It's a game changer!




A federal jury has convicted a Wheat Ridge gun dealer who became a Discovery Channel reality TV star on 10 felony counts related to conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion. Richard Wyatt, 53, of Evergreen, was taken into custody immediately following the guilty verdict in Denver U.S. District Court Friday afternoon and awaits sentencing at a later date. Wyatt faces up to 15 years in a federal prison, said Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for acting U.S. Attorney Bob Troyer.

Wyatt had entered an agreement with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to relinquish his federal firearms license in 2009. According to court records, Wyatt kept his business running by conspiring with the owner of Triggers, a gun store in Castle Rock, to operate Gunsmoke under a straw license. When Triggers also surrendered its firearms license, Wyatt conspired with other gun dealers to keep his business afloat, records indicate.

I'm not sure what the story here is supposed to be. What are you looking for? To me, it looks like someone blatantly broke arms regulations and is being punished appropriately.

Yeah, I don't get the posters that link random articles, without giving their opinion about it, or even pointing out what they find interesting about the story.

Yeah. It's a weird impulse. By all means, link some click-baity shit that will whip up some outrage, but at least tell me what I'm supposed to be outraged about.

I'm outraged at the lack of outrage in the OP. This is outrageous, imo.

I'M SUPER FUCKING INDIFFERENT ABOUT THIS STORy.

[Heladys]

I'd be more interested if it was further legal action against that "Red Jacket Arms" redneck asshole that used to be on TV.

But we're like all Independent Voters on this forum. How could anyone get outraged?

I was just thinking on an earlier thread people were saying Straw buys were a myth. Now we got multiple gun stores involved.

So the fuzz are not only attacking the 2nd amendment but trying to prevent people from earning a living too?

[Allybeboba]

What show was he on? I must have missed that one.

[Azadina]

10 counts related to conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion? I think I know some recently very famous person who could easily score higher on all counts.

Isn't he in jail for touching little kids, including both of his own daughters? So he should have one hell of a time.

Thought it was going to be Dragon Mans when I clicked. Never heard of this guy before.

That was the guy from Red Jacket Firearms.

This is the guy I knew was a real winner the first time I watched the show and saw his 16 year old with fake tits.

His wife also looking like a walking plastic surgery experiment. I guess he likes all things plastic, Glocks included.

Yeah, that is what Heladys ask and I answered. The difference is I guess at least Sons of Guns was mildly interesting - at least the first few shows and this one was always kinda dull. I guess discovery is staying away from Gun shows for a bit now since they seem to attract creepy criminal stars.
