      Gun stores are the final decider on who is and isn’t buying guns. There should be more training for them, but also more liability attached as well. They know the people who are making straw purchases and they ignore it because they want sales.

        I know quite a few local FFLs and not a single one of them would risk their license and livelihood by knowingly selling to straw purchasers.

      I fucking wish we could share medical details between government agencies, but we can’t even competently share driver’s license info.
