An Aurora man has been charged by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul with gunrunning and a number of other firearm-related charges, the Attorney General’s Office said on Monday.
Daniel Curry, 42, has been charged with 72 counts related to gunrunning, illegally possessing silencers and machine-gun conversion devices and unlawful possession of unserialized firearms and receivers, according to a news release from the Illinois Attorney General’s Office.
Per the news release, the charges include two counts of gunrunning, 16 counts of unlawful sale or delivery of a firearm, 11 counts of unlawful sale of an unserialized firearm or receiver, one count of unlawful sale of an unserialized frame, one count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, six counts of unlawful use of a weapon, 12 counts of unlawful use of a weapon silencer, 11 counts of possession of an unserialized firearm, 10 counts of possession of an unserialized receiver and two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
Raoul’s office is alleging that, between September 2025 and January 2026, Curry took part in the illegal sale of eight firearms in DuPage and Kane counties, the news release said. He was arrested after a search warrant executed on Feb. 3 in Aurora resulted in the uncovering of evidence that he used a 3-D printing device to make machine-gun conversion devices, which turn semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic machine guns, according to the release.
Curry was found to be in possession of six machine-gun conversion devices, silencers and unserialized firearms and receivers, the Attorney General’s Office said. He was also found to be in possession of 50 grams of psilocybin mushrooms and over 200 grams of a substance containing the controlled substance dimethyltryptamine, the release said.
The case was referred to Raoul’s office by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF, following an investigation by the ATF, the Aurora Police Department and the Naperville Police Department, per the news release.
Raoul’s Statewide Grand Jury Bureau is authorized by state statute to prosecute multi-county cases involving drugs, money laundering, guns or electronics, the release said. The Attorney General’s Office is co-prosecuting this case with DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin’s office.
