“Using money that Rittenhouse gave him, Dominick Black, a friend who also dated one of Rittenhouse’s sisters, bought the gun at a hardware store in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, in May 2020. Black, who was 18 at the time, purchased the gun for Rittenhouse, who at age 17 was too young to legally buy it for himself.”

I hope that this won’t cause the feds to go after Rittenhouse and/or Black for a straw purchase.

Ordinarily, they would not, because no "substantial transfer" took place. But, what is ordinary might not apply here, because we have seen the government make up stuff when they want to go after someone.

It's already been addressed. It's not a straw man purchase because Black maintained possession of the rifle and kept it at his house........

All of these idiots are making Kyle’s case for a huge lawsuit.

Looks to me like the straw purchase is the one thing they might have a case with. Hope I’m wrong.

It’s a stretch to consider it a straw purchase (It isn’t, but it can be made to sound like one), and the State has already gone after Black.
