Federal charges brought against St. Paul man accused of illegally selling guns online

A St. Paul man has been indicted on a charge of illegally selling large quantities of weapons online while posing as a gun collector, one of the first cases charged in the wake of President Obama’s pledge to crack down on unregulated firearms sales.

Several of the handguns allegedly sold by Eitan Benjamin Feldman, 29, soon turned up at Twin Cities crime scenes, according to a 10-count indictment unsealed Thursday.

The indictment is just the third unlicensed-seller case charged by the U.S. attorney’s office in the last decade.
