Chief Flynn recounted pleading with a state senator to include a provision in Wisconsin’s concealed weapons law that would ban habitual criminal offenders from obtaining permits. The senator, he said, told him, “Here’s the phone number of the National Rifle Association lobbyist in Washington, D.C. If it’s O.K. with him, it will be O.K. with us.” The provision was not included, Chief Flynn said.

Straw purchasing, in which a proxy buys guns for convicted felons, is another problem, participants said. Chief Art Acevedo of Austin said his officers regularly observed women buying as many as 30 guns, including semiautomatic weapons, at gun shows and then passing them on to men.

More idiocy from Flynn:

Last week Milwaukee’s Shepherd Express ran a story about the new concealed carry law. In that story they reported several concerns that Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn had concerning it. He said that thousands of career criminals who have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors would qualify for a concealed carry permit because they are not convicted felons. They can carry a hidden handgun even though they are a literal menace to public safety. Flynn also said that almost half of those convicted of homicides in 2011 would have been eligible for concealed weapons permits because they had not been convicted of a felony prior to committing murder. For the same reason he further said that about 75% of convicted robbers could get a permit at the time of their crime.

So using Flynn’s “logic,” we all should be denied permits because we might commit a crime in the future. That, in a nutshell, sums up the idiot chief of police mindset rampant in so many Dem-run cities.

"Chief Art Acevedo of Austin said his officers regularly observed women buying as many as 30 guns, including semiautomatic weapons, at gun shows and then passing them on to men."

I'm calling BS on this too. I regularly attend Austin gun shows and have NEVER seen any such thing. In fact, women are a rarity at these shows and tend to garner lots of attention since the great majority of attendees are white men.

Wait, that's raaaacisssss!!! /s

Austin has a marked history of concerted ant-gun activism by the city gooberment. They HATE gunshows and want the "loophole" closed.

BS is absolutly correct.

Average decent handgun = $400.00

30 x $400 = $12,000

A $12,000 cash transaction is reported to what agency again?
