Although background checks are not required for in-state, private gun sales, Braziel admitted he was “engaged in the business of selling firearms” and should have been licensed and checking his clients' backgrounds. He admitted routinely buying firearm firing mechanisms, using milling equipment to build them into guns, then selling them for profits of $100 to $200.

Though the stories are a bit contradictory.

How and why were the items purchased from an FFL if they were indeed 80% lowers.

And if they weren’t 80% lowers... what exactly was he “milling”?
 
The article is misleading and incomplete as most news is today -
He was likely convicted of tax evasion rather than a firearms violation --

He plead guilty to Firearm violation AND the tax evasion.

"Marcus Anthony Braziel, 45, of Lubbock pleaded guilty in October to unlicensed firearms dealing and concealing the proceeds from weapons sales from the IRS"
.

But how he only got 2 years?..must had a great attorney or he is going to squeal on a few friends and testify in the future..
