yes that straw purchase law
and its ok to buy a gun and give it as a gift is confusing
i think that is the sole purpose of the law
is just to make it more confusing than most folks want to deal with
It is the incrmental ism of the anti gun dolts.
They write laws that really do not make sense and then do not enforce them, if they did Sara Brady should be doing 10 years for a straw across the state purchase she made for son, step son, or nephew. But like most liberals she was given a pass as it is not what she does but what she wants to do. and as a celeberty for the handgun cause...
Also most states have family tree gift laws. But if you give or sell it to anyone else you are supose to do paper work. You can go up and down a family branch father, mother grandfather, son grandson but not uncle or cousin. Something we worked out when I got a shotgun for my cousin. Long drawn out but here is how we did it.
I gave gun to my father (legal) he gave gun to his wife (legal) wife gave gun to her mother (legal) she gave gun to my uncle (legal) he gave gun to my cousin (legal) if I handed it to my uncle to give to my cousin that would have been illegal.
There goal is to continue to write laws that fail to finally say we need to collect all as no new law is working and to conficsate all firearms.
