Orlando man accused of selling guns to convicted felons

ORLANDO, Fla. — A man may have been helping put guns in the wrong hands by selling firearms to convicted felons, according to federal officials.

Records from the federal courthouse show Adam Rosemayer has bought 51 firearms since October of 2019. There are 15 reports of guns that he originally bought being recovered from crime scenes.

According to investigators, Rosemayer sold an untraceable gun he manufactured himself to a confidential informant, then later sold him a few Glock pistols, even though the informant told him he was a convicted felon.

Records show Rosemayer said he “did not care” about the felony convictions because he “sells to anyone,” and he’s earned approximately $100,000 doing it.

Records also show Rosemayer sold parts that could turn an assault rifle into a fully automatic weapon.

A conviction could carry up to 10 years in prison.
