These clowns are getting charged and rightfully so.

Legal gun owners aren't the ones going out and using the guns for shootings.
So your saying just because you have a pal does not make you a legal gun owner?

In addition any illegally possessed firearm can be traced back to the straw purchaser who would obviously be connected to the criminals who posseses it.

So as far as I can tell the police have the ability to easily crack down on straw purchases but lack the will to do so
Do you want the police coming to your house every month to check on you?
