Actually its about how straw purchases (and all gun control laws) are essentially useless for tracing when a firearm is stolen. Straw purchases seem limited to those very, very few with limited intellect or dire circumstances. Estimates of 300,000 to 600,000 guns are stolen each year. Add in those who do not report guns stolen and these numbers are prolly much higher. All of this plus "ghost" guns make me question why gun control is worthwhile at all.It doesn’t, but this thread isn’t about stolen guns.
No, voting for lawmakers who prefer kneejerk and ineffective solutions are how laws like that come into being.Stuff like this is how we end up with one gun per month restrictions.
In what fantasy world would that be?Most gun owners are in favor of background checks, waiting periods, quantity limits, etc.
Methinks me smellist troll scheisse!!Gee, think we could have laws limiting gun purchases to prevent things like this?
BUT BUT BUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT!!!!
Most gun owners are in favor of background checks, waiting periods, quantity limits, etc. But any legislative representative with an R next to their name knows better. Sad!
Maybe with juuuuuust one more thought and prayer this will be solved.
This gives them an example for why such laws are needed. Bad lawmakers are waiting to pounce on any such opportunity.No, voting for lawmakers who prefer kneejerk and ineffective solutions are how laws like that come into being.

My LGS is very keen on straw purchases. My wife and I were shopping for a gun for her. It was a present, so she wanted me to pay for it.
Minor ruckus until we showed them our id's and swore she was legal to buy a gun.
We did the paperwork in her name and used her credit card just to put everybody at ease.

Sorry, he ain't wrong. Most Americans surveyed on these things don't have a problem with stricter requirements for owning guns.
The ATF itself has said that straw purchases are a huge source of illegal guns, meaning that a background check would only be marginally effective in stopping illegal purchases. But he's right. We have to remember that we gun hobbyists are not the average American. Laws and restrictions that we might find disagreeable, only care because it effects our hobby. The average person who buys one gun or less per decade, just doesn't care because it doesn't impact them.

It’s more than a hobby. To us fortunate ones here in the US, sure, we can consider it a “hobby”. Just like hunting. It’s a hobby for most of us that do it. Nobody really “needs” to hunt for food anymore. In OUR world. But that’s not the rest of the world, and just because we are fortunate now, doesn’t mean it’s permanent. It wasn’t always just a hobby. And it may not be again.https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/09/13/key-facts-about-americans-and-guns/

That means absolutely nothing. Just because the majority thinks something is good doesn’t mean it is. Every time a minority is oppressed, it’s because some “majority” thought it was a good idea, or just didn’t care.Sorry, he ain't wrong.
