Gregory Urbanek pleaded guilty to one count of dealing firearms without a license and three counts of felon in possession of a firearm, according to court records. He faces a maximum of 50 years in prison when he is sentenced on Feb. 10, 2027, by U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro.

Prosecutors said Urbanek sold 14 firearms between April and June 2025 without holding a federal firearms license, the permit required to engage in the business of buying and selling guns. The weapons included shotguns, rifles and pistols, as well as a 100-round magazine.

Urbanek's criminal history in Clark County includes prior felony convictions for attempted grand larceny, being an ex-felon in possession of a gun and drug trafficking. Under federal law, those convictions prohibit him from possessing firearms or ammunition.

The case highlights the persistent challenge of keeping guns out of the hands of people legally barred from owning them, a gap that law enforcement officials say can fuel violence in the community. Federal prosecutors have increasingly prioritized cases involving unlicensed firearms dealing and felons in possession of weapons.

Urbanek remains free pending sentencing, according to court records. It was not immediately clear whether he has retained an attorney.
