gun control helps criminals

I've argued before that gun control helps criminals, but this is the first time I've seen actual criminals pushing for stronger gun controls (presumably to disarm their victims) and then being busted for gun trafficking:

The founder of an anti-violence group called No Guns pleaded not guilty Thursday to federal weapons charges.

Hector “Big Weasel” Marroquin is accused of selling an assault rifle, a machine gun, two pistols and two silencers to undercover federal agents last fall.
...
Marroquin, 51, of Downey, is a onetime member of the 18th Street gang who founded No Guns in 1996, ostensibly to reduce gang and gun violence.

No Guns received $1.5 million from the city as a subcontractor on anti-gang efforts but its contract was canceled last year after authorities learned that Marroquin had hired relatives, including his son.

Hector “Little Weasel” Marroquin, is an acknowledged 18th Street gang member who pleaded no contest last week to home-invasion robbery and was sentenced to nine years in state prison.

Marroquin is charged with three counts of manufacture, distribution and transport for sale of an unlawful assault weapon, along with one count each of machine gun conversion and possession of a silencer.

The irony is hilarious.
