U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, announced Wednesday, Jan. 7, that Bronx man Hassan Hubbard was sentenced to 10 years in prison for trafficking firearms. He said Hubbard previously pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, who imposed the sentence.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Yorkers have made clear they want illegal firearms out of their neighborhoods, and that\u2019s what they deserve,\u201d said Clayton. \u201cToday\u2019s lengthy sentence takes yet another provider of illegal automated weapons to gun-toting criminals off the streets of New York. I commend the career prosecutors of this Office for their unwavering commitment to combatting the proliferation of illegal weapons and the havoc they wreak on our city.\u201d<\/p>\n
The court heard that in spring 2024, Hubbard sold firearms and ammunition on multiple occasions to an undercover member of law enforcement from inside, or nearby, a Bronx apartment building. <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Prosecutors said the firearms Hubbard sold included semiautomatic assault rifles, an untraceable \u201cghost gun,\u201d and high-capacity magazines, along with over 800 rounds of ammunition. As reported, ghost guns are weapons, the component parts of which are purchased online and then assembled at home. Some of the firearms and ammunition Hubbard sold are shown below:<\/p>\n<\/a>SOME OF THE illegal firearms and ammunition sold by Bronx man Hassan Hubbard \u00a0
