Kelly filled out the 4473 attesting that he was buying the weapons for himself but stated openly that he was giving the AR-15 to a third party. He committed a felony! He should now be tried, convicted and imprisoned for falsifiying the record. He was a “straw buyer”!
With that added info, I will stand corrected on my comment.
Precisely.
See, thats the problem with the damned form...Not that I am in anyway supporting doofushead on this...
But what if I filled out the form, with the intent to later on will the firearm to someone in the family, or sell it outright to someone else if I chose not to posess that firearm anymore...
I don’t believe I am compelled to fill out a transfer form for that kind of deal, if I am alive or not...Its my property, and I have the right to dispose of it as I see fit...(this is true in most states in this Union, IIRC)
But Mark Kelly’s intent was clear from the onset...Poorly thought out, and poorly executed...
As I have said many times in the past, you may be smart enough to command the space shuttle, but this guy is dumber than a bag of hammers in this arena...
If he only understood what a tool he is to these socialists and their agenda, he’d be singing a different tune...
As a former FFL holder, I can assure that this is not the definition of a "straw buyer". IF a buyer uses his own money to buy a gun and then gives it as a gift to someone else that is legally qualified to own it, that is not a straw purchase. If another person gave Mr. Kelly the money to buy the gun (presumably because the first person could not legally buy the gun himself), and then Mr. Kelly bought the gun while representing that he was the true buyer of the weapon, that would make him a "straw buyer".
