A South Side felon has been charged in a federal complaint for peddling nearly
50 guns onto Chicago’s streets in less than two weeks.
Levaine Tanksley
is accused of selling 47 guns, many of them semi-automatic pistols, to a
confidential informant, according to a criminal complaint filed
Wednesday.
Tanksley was convicted in Cook County in 2006 of felony drug
charges, making it illegal for him to possess the weapons.
Tanksley allegedly met the informant at various locations around
the city, including at his home in the Park Manor neighborhood and a parking lot
in Chinatown.
The sales happened between April 22 and May 5 and were secretly audio
and videotaped

If you provide a gun for someone, and they use it, theres a special place for you in the afterlife, this place is called hell.
