You also know there’s a problem if you attempt to legally purchase a gun in MO if there is a prosecution against you for........using a weapon, right?
Yes I do. Legally, it takes the time to find someone willing to sell you a gun, and then exchange the money.
50 people have offered to *give* an AR-type rifle to the McCloskys.

Yes, I know that. Actually, it is a federal law for being under indictment for a felony. But no indictment has been released, yet.
It may be soon, but not yet.
There is a strong case the Federal "under indictment" prohibition is unconstitutional, as it is a prior restraint, before being convicted of any crime.
The Missouri prosecutor does not have the authority to prosecute federal crimes, as far as I can tell. It would be nice to have an attorney who practices in the field chime in on this.
