In fact everyone should probably just strap themselves up like a John Woo movie at all times, it's the only way to be safe from all the guns.

The thing is these straw purchasers are bad things waiting to happen and states like AZ that have really lax laws regarding straw purchasers cause deaths.

Every state should do the responsible thing and impose sever penalties for being a "straw purchaser" of firearms.

Might actually do something unlike a ban.

Actually it's a violation of federal law to be a straw purchaser...she lied on the application for purchase and then knowingly transferred it to a convicted felon, yet another federal law broken. This has nothing to do with any "lax state laws"...bitch needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible with plenty of media coverage and maybe, just maybe, others will learn and stop breaking the existing gun laws.

But lets be realistic, this isn't going to get much media coverage at all since it doesn't promote more gun control.
