NYC Gun Smuggling Operation Hid Guns In Gym

By Tom Knighton

New York City doesn’t like guns. I state it like that just in case you didn’t know. Of course, how you couldn’t know such a thing is beyond me. The city has gone out of its way through the years to make it clear to everyone it dislikes guns.

Because of the city’s dislike for guns, people smuggle the weapons into the city. Sometimes, they even get caught.

A security guard at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and two others are accused of smuggling 50 guns into New York City by bus and storing them inside the Equinox gym where one of the suspects worked, according to law enforcement sources.

Sources said the security guard, 29-year-old Maquan Moore, and Morris Wilson of Florida were both arrested Thursday night after the third of three deals with undercover NYPD officers and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive agents. The third suspect, an employee at the Greenwich Avenue Equinox, is still at large.

Sources said that Wilson, of Orlando, brought the guns to the city by bus beginning in October. Then, Moore allegedly took the guns to the Equinox, where the third suspect stored them for short periods leading up to gun sales.
