Someone please tell me, exactly HOW was this "obviously" a "straw sale" of a high volume of guns "headed for the illegal market"??? The gun dealer complied with extant laws governing gun sales. They even went further, contacting the BATF when they grew concerned. If the dealer had refused sale after complying with federal and state laws, the purchaser might have turned around and sued them for denial of civil rightsMaybe they should sue the BATF! When multiple guns are sold to a party over a short period of time, the gun dealer must notify the ATF. This isn't anything new... Back in 1989, I bought 2 handguns in one day, and was warned that the dealer had to notify the ATF.

I've got as many guns as I need, but I'll never have as many as I want.
