“...They paid her $520 in cash and two cartons of Marlboros for the Makarov semi-automatic pistol...” That is way too much money for a Makarov. $250 to $400, but not $520 for an obviously illegal purchase, which is usually heavily discounted.

It would be nice to see someone arrest the ATF agents for failing to fill out the Oregon State required firearm transfer paperwork. In Oregon even private transfers are required to go through the paperwork. Of course the ATF is above the law, just ask them.

Actually, if the transaction is between two private parties, both of whom are legally allowed to purchase guns and both are residents of Oregon, there is no paperwork required.

Not so.
