2 Charged With Making, Selling Illegal Assault Rifles

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) -- Frederick city police say they've charged two Mount Airy men with selling illegal assault rifles they made from legally purchased parts.

Police said Monday that the AR-15 rifles lacked serial numbers, making them untraceable.

Lt. Clark Pennington says an undercover officer bought two of the guns. Pennington says three more were seized at the home of one of the suspects.

Police also raided the home of the other suspect. Pennington says the combined seizures include: 31 guns; some illegal, high-capacity handgun magazines; body armor vests; a pound of marijuana and $8,100 in cash.

Twenty-four-year-old Daniel Schumaker Jr. and 32-year-old Christopher Stooltzfoos are charged with multiple drug and firearm offenses. Schumaker's lawyer didn't immediately return a call from The Associated press. Stoltzfoos has no attorney listed in online court records.
