I have a clean record, so I'm just going to buy guns and resell them to criminals where I can make double to triple what the guns are actually worth, allowing me to make lots of money without having to work for it, and hey fuck everyone else as a bonus. Not my problem. Matter of fact, why am I not doing this already? Good idea kain. |
Dude don't do it. Straw purchasing IS against the law if you file out the background check form at a FFL dealer and lie about the identity of the final possessor of the gun YOU are breaking the law. When you buy a gun at a store as a gift you have to indicate who you are gifting it to. If you buy a gun for a criminal and know that they will use it illegaly you are also breaking the law and held responsible. It's only legal if everyone involved are law abiding citizens.
But none of that stops criminals from commiting crimes or finding plenty of guns to buy on the blackmarket.
No law can prevent criminals from committing crimes.
The AK-47 is so easy to make anyone could make one with a simple machine shop and the ability to follow directions. Soon guns will come out of 3D printers as easily as my tax forms printed from my HP Inkjet. You can't stop criminals and ALL of these proposed laws would have no effect on anyone other than the 99% of gun owners who DON'T break the law.
