The founder of an anti-gun group will be arraigned June 21 on weapons charges, following his arrest Thursday for allegedly selling firearms to federal undercover officers, a spokesperson for the District Attorney's Office said today.
Hector "Big Weasel" Marroquin, 51 -- who founded the one-time city-funded group "No Guns" in 1996, purportedly to work against gang and gun violence in the inner city -- is charged with the sale of an assault rifle, a machine gun, two pistols and two silencers...It is his second weapons-related arrest in as many years.

All this and apparent gang affiliations, too. Wonderful people, these anti-gun "activists".
At least he didn't threaten to snuff anybody out.
This is a real winner.
ReplyDelete"...his son, Hector Marroquin Jr., a former No Guns officer who police say is an admitted 18th Street Gang member, has been indicted on charges of home invasion robbery and faces up to 40 years in prison."
The city of Los Angeles has given him over $1.5 million to help fund "No Guns". Nice stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
