Green Country Arms and Pawn allegedly sold four straw purchasers 33, eight, 27 and 22 guns each in multiple transactions in 2003 and 2004. RJ's Guns in Broken Arrow and W.D. Guns in Alva allegedly combined to sell a trafficking ring some 240 guns over seven months in 2003 and 2004. There's no reaction yet from federal or local law enforcement agencies.
