It does. You just don't like the answer.[/quote]

Sorry, but it doesn’t. You failed (chose not to, rather) to answer my very simple question, which I will put to you again:

Are the stores supposed to refuse to sell guns to young black men because they [i]might[/i] be a straw buyer? Do you think that’s a wise decision?

That’s the question you chose not to answer. So please, if you would - answer it? [/quote]

There's no point in answering a question that has a false premise.[/quote]

So you won’t answer the question about [i]how[/i] these stores are supposed to prevent straw purchases by straw buyers, if there’s absolutely no concrete proof available to them that the purchaser is a straw buyer, and that purchaser passes all the background checks and waiting periods. Is that correct? You won’t answer that question - but you still say the ships should’ve stopped it.

Got it. [/quote]

"It doesn't take a lot of common sense to figure out that someone trying to repeatedly buy the same semi-automatic handgun over a short period of time is a straw purchaser,"[/quote]

I guess the attorney general will need to prove that the stores could prove that he was a straw purchaser and sold to him knowing he was one, not just suspected but actually new. What does the law say about limits and purchasing weapons? Is there a limit? I don’t know.

I’m surprised the straw purchaser received so little jail time.[/quote]

Because they don’t care about the straw purchasers. They want excuses to close gun shops. [/quote]

If you're trying to stop straw purchases at gun shops, it's a lot more effective, and cost-effective too, to crack down on the gun shops that sell to straw purchasers, than on the individual straw purchasers.[/quote]

Interesting.

So it would be a lot easier to stop drunk driving by closing bars and restaurants and banning the sale of alcohol.

Similarly, we could dramatically reduce car jacking by prohibition of ownership.

Out of the box thinking.

So you know how it's a law enforcement strategy to go after the drug dealers instead of the drug buyers?

And also a law enforcement strategy to go after bars that serve people who are drunk?

Yeah, that.[/quote]

Closing every bar would seem like the right thing to do then, since every bar has probably over served at least someone at some point, just as every gun shop has likely sold to a straw buyer at some point, and is now being sued. I understand now. [/quote] also bars should be responsible for date rapes[/quote]
