\"U.S.A Ventura County, California man who illegally sold five firearms in less than a month and agreed to sell three more during an undercover operation last year has been sentenced to nearly five years in federal prison, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Joshua Pineda, 24, of Thousand Oaks, was sentenced on Monday to four years and nine \u00a0months in prison after admitting that he illegally sold five rifles during transactions in October and November of 2015 . The sales took place in parking lots in Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks. After selling the rifles for thousands of dollars, Pineda agreed to sell three more to an undercover law enforcement officer.<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S.District Judge Dale S. Fischer sentenced Pineda this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the eight firearms in this case were AR-15-type assault rifles, several of which did not have serial numbers. According to court documents, Pineda also sold more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition to the undercover agent.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cParking lot sales of untraceable assault rifles by a convicted felon pose a serious danger to the community,\u201d said United States Attorney Eileen M. Decker. \u201cTransactions like these supply an illegal market for firearms that endangers law-abiding citizens when the deadly weapons make their way into the hands of criminals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Pineda plead guilty in February to federal offenses of selling firearms without a license and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Pineda previously plead guilty in federal court in February 2015 to a felony offense involve an assault rifle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harden. \u201cThese offenses circumvent regulations in place intended to thwart firearm possession by prohibited individuals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
