MESA, Ariz. -- Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms discovered a large cache of weapons after serving a search warrant at a Mesa home early Monday morning.
The warrant was based on a "federal firearms violation."
ATF agents said some 1,000 firearms were being illegally dealt out of the home in the area of 84th Street and McDowell Road.
One person is in custody in the case.
According to agents, the weapons being dealt out of the Mesa home were connected to various crimes within days of being sold. One of the weapons reported was involved in a Phoenix drive-by shooting. Investigators said that "time to crime" means the suspect allegedly was not doing any kind of background checks on his customers.
The man is accused of selling firearms, including handguns, high-powered rifles and even some assault rifles, to anybody with the money to buy.
The alleged dealer, whose name has not been released, is accused of selling guns in New Mexico and Nevada, as well as here in Arizona.
This morning's ATF operation is the culmination of an eight-month investigation that started when undercover officers purchased weapons from the suspect.

Without going into details of everything that happened or whether it is right, wrong or otherwise, I have one comment:
They managed to investigate and act without passing a single new law. All they needed to do was use existing legislation to investigate, raid and bust.
Hint hint antis!
