gun trafficking
Black market weapons
Gun trafficking is the illegal trade, transport, or sale of firearms—moving weapons across borders or into prohibited hands in violation of law.
It often involves buying guns legally in one jurisdiction and selling them illegally in another, or supplying weapons to criminals, gangs, or conflict zones.
Federal agents broke up a gun trafficking ring that was smuggling weapons across the border.
