An octogenarian from California, Missouri, was charged in federal court this week with a number of gun charges.
Aubrey Foxworthy, 81, was charged with dealing guns without a license, two counts of having an unregistered gun and one count of having a machine gun, according to the superseding indictment filed Tuesday in the Missouri Western District Court.
A press release from the Department of Justice, Foxworthy had a silencer that wasn’t registered to him as well as an AR-15 conversion device.
The indictment says that he has the devices in September 2024.
