A Tucson man has been sentenced to 36 months in prison for dealing firearms without a license, according to court documents.
Isaias Delgado, 37, of Tucson, Arizona, was sentenced by United States District Judge Jennifer G. Zipps on Tuesday.
Between May 2018 and April 2019, Delgado purchased and resold at least 38 firearms, including several .50 caliber rifles, AK-47 style rifles, AR-15 style rifles, and belt-fed rifles.
The evidence showed that Delgado spent over $80,000 on firearms during this time period. He immediately sold the firearms after acquiring them and made a significant profit off of each sale.
Two of the firearms were recovered in Mexico shortly after Delgado purchased and then sold them.
Delgado has never held a federal firearms license that would allow him to engage in the firearm dealing business.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives conducted the investigation in this case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Angela W. Woolridge handled the prosecution.
Delgado was found guilty of Engaging in the Business of Dealing Firearms Without a License following a jury trial on August 12, 2021.
Delgado was ordered to pay a forfeiture judgment of over $43,500 and imposed an additional $2,000 fine.
The case is a reminder of the importance of following federal laws and regulations when dealing in firearms.
