What would you want to do if your loved one was killed and it turned out the perp’s family knew of the plot and did nothing to warn anyone?
How about at least some aiding and abetting charges?

Hanley detailed Soto’s violent spree that included stabbing and running over a mail carrier with a car, breaking into multiple homes and attacking three juveniles with a bat. [More]
And it took men threatening him with guns to get him to get the lunatic to act in rational self-interest and stop? I wonder if Rockford being mostly Democrat had anything to do with those men being “Only Ones” instead of neighbors…

The red herring “exemption” only applied to one specific case that ain’t over by a long shot.
A Cleveland man who made thousands of dollars by buying and selling guns used in shootings and homicides said little on Tuesday as a federal judge sentenced him to more than 11 years in prison. Kenneth Smith, 23, apologized for selling 32 guns to undercover federal agents in less than three weeks, netting $24,000. The guns had been used in 30 shootings, including several homicides. [More]
The rest of the story is paywalled and the only other thing I could find is he did all this while being a “prohibited person” himself:
KENNETH SMITH, 23, East Cleveland, was charged with Engaging in the Business of Dealing Firearms without a Federal Firearms License, Illegal Possession of a Machinegun, and being a Felon in Possession of Firearms.
It does raise the question why they needed to drag it out over 32 guns and three weeks when one sale could have done the trick, and for some reason a South Park bust comes to mind (NSFW).
