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]

How is the shop supposed to know who is a straw purchaser?[/quote]

You apparently have a very low opinion of the competence of the people who operate these gun shops.[/quote]

That’s a very nonsensical thing to say.  [/quote]
