I don’t understand why they aren’t being prosecuted for Federal charges as well ... straw purchase in order to circumvent the 21yo Federal age requirement for a handgun purchase. Apparently those laws don’t actually mean anything, they just inconvenience responsible gun buyers?
Fed charges? At the federal level there is no restriction on gifting guns to family members. Relative age isn’t an issue. Straw purchase doesn’t relate as long as it’s within family-——in this case I expect liability for stupidity is a bigger issue at the state level?
