Alabama man to serve federal prison time for illegally selling firearms on dark web

A 48-year-old Montgomery man was sentenced in federal court on Tuesday to 51 months in prison for illegally selling more than 32 firearms on the dark web.

Michael Albert Focia was convicted by a jury in June on the charges of dealing in firearms without a license and two counts of selling guns to people who were outside the state of Alabama, court records show.

According to the Department of Justice, Focia was selling firearms on the dark web, parts of the internet not accessible by the general public.

During an investigation, law enforcement agents determined that Focia had unlawfully sold and shipped at least 32 firearms to people all over the world—including Australia and Sweden.

2 posts this AM, both proving that the existing gun laws can work as intended when properly enforced.

Thanks for the 2nd amendment support, keep it up.
