释义
A gunrunner is a person who illegally buys, sells, or transports guns, usually to sell them secretly or to groups who are not supposed to have them.
用法与细微差别
This word is mostly used in news, crime stories, or discussions about illegal activities. It always refers to criminal behavior, not people who sell guns legally. 'Gunrunner' is more dramatic than 'arms dealer,' which can be legal or illegal.
