Gun used in Paris attacks traced to Florida arms dealer - Century Arms


The M92 semi automatic pistol used in the Paris attacks came from an arms supplier in Florida; Century Arms.
A gun linked to last month’s Paris mass shootings has been traced back to a Florida arms dealer. 

The serial number for a M92 semi-automatic pistol linked to the deadly Nov. 13 terrorist attacks matched one for a weapon delivered by the Zastava arms factory in May 2013 to Century International Arms in Delray Beach, reported the Palm Beach Post. 

Michael Sucher, the owner of Century Arms, did not answer calls seeking comment Thursday and the doors to his shop were closed as TV news crews gathered outside. 

Employees leaving the arms dealer’s building did not comment on the case, and a woman who works next door said she had no idea the business dealt guns. 

Century Arms buys and sells military-grade surplus guns — with a specialty in buying weapons from overseas and reselling them to dealers — and is one of the largest arms dealers in the U.S. 

The company also holds a federal firearms license in Georgia, Vermont, to import and build guns and to import destructive devices such as large-caliber guns and armor-piercing ammunition. Raw Story  
It's particularly creepy watching this video from Century Arms, showing the M92 in a demonstration of what it can do, knowing that people were killed by a weapon like that in Paris.
