OK, what do you do regarding the so-called "straw purchases" - people who buy guns in quantity in one state, and bring them to another state to sell them, skirting those laws, the background check, etc.
I'm not against the current laws regarding strawman purchases by customers at FFL-licensed dealers.
Bloomberg's lawsuits have just been declared to be not an authentic prosecution of illegalities, and the ATF said they will not prosecute the dealers Bloomberg is suing.
Bloomberg, however, is continuing to sue those dealers civilly, with the intent of gaining eventual control over firearms transactions in America, in my opinion.
It's the same way Mayor Daley of Chicago sued to get the names and addresses of EVERYONE that had their names entered on FFL transactions awhile back, not just those purchases in Illinois, but EVERYWHERE, with the eventual goal of suing/tracking and controlling firearms customers in all 50 states.
That was stopped, by the way, but Bloomberg was attempting the same sort of nationwide harrasment of gun owners that Daley tried.
I fear the government's shutting down firearms ownership a lot more than I do "strawmen" buying guns...criminals will get whatever they want, be it heroin, meth, cocaine or guns. They don't pay attention to the law, they are criminals and Daley/Bloomberg/Giuliani type gun bans won't stop them, it will just stop Joe Citizen.
