Boy Wonder Arms Dealer Still Trigger-Happy

Efraim E. Diveroli — the boy wonder ammunition and firearms dealer who secured $300 million in contracts from the Pentagon only to watch his company collapse under the weight of fraud and conspiracy charges — still believes that happiness is a warm gun. The Times reports that Diveroli was arrested after purchasing weapons from undercover agents.

Prior to his arrest, Diveroli appeared rather cavalier about his ability to still procure and sell weapons despite the upcoming sentencing, according to the tapes recorded by the agents included in the Times story.

Diveroli allegedly told the agent: “Once a gun runner, always a gun runner.”
