SAN DIEGO — David F. Morgan, 55, of La Mesa, California, has been arrested by agents of ATF for illegally purchasing firearms and ammunition in Arizona and transporting them into California.
Agents discovered he had been illegally trafficking numerous firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition. A total of 48 firearms and more than 200,000 rounds of various calibers of ammunition were seized in this investigation.
The investigation revealed that Morgan falsified information and used a fictitious address to obtain a valid Arizona identification card. Morgan used that identification to purchase firearms in Arizona and then transport them to his true residence in California in violation of federal law.
Morgan has no known criminal history, and no motive for his activity has been uncovered thus far. The seized firearms include rifles, handguns and several firearms modified in violation of California law.
