Straw purchases are illegal and result in federal time for the purchaser. (unless, of course, the straw purchase has been blessed off in advance by a federal agency, right Whitey?)
The "Gun show loophole" is both overstated and misreported. Dealers at gun shows are required to do NICS checks on purchasers, just like they are required anywhere else. The sole exception to NICS checks involves private party to private party sales, which in many states still involve NICS checks.
Guns are already controlled. The notion that it's just the wild west out there and you can just run into your local hardware store and plunk down a sawbuck and walk out with a gun is largely just that....a myth. It's one that certain parties prefer to portray as fact, but it's a myth.
How's gun control working for Chicago? NYC? While we're at it, how'd prohibition go? The war on drugs?
Yeah, bans and strict controls work ever so well.
