Depends on the felony... pre-meditated murderers should get MANY years for posessing any firearm, but someone who, for example, commited low-level credit-card fraud should still be able to own.

The premise of the argument is flawed. A "straw purchase" is a method of circumventing law. They can't obtain it legally, so someone else gets it for them. If the problem is that minor offenses bar people from obtaining a firearm, then the laws barring them need to be changed.
They is no rational line of thought that could defend a "straw purchase" as being legal or just. The fundamental question is whether or not the person who ultimately owns the weapon has the legal ability to obtain the weapon. That's it. |

It's how I got my .45.
Straw purchase is legal in PA as long as it's between a parent and their kid, or a grandparent. So, since it was illegal for me to purchase a HK USP .45 at 20, but not illegal for me to be transferred one or to posses one, I ordered the handgun from my dealer, I talked to him about it one several occasions while it was in transit, and then on the day it came my father filled out the yellow form, turned and handed the .45 to me. He purchased it, and then transferred it to me. Tada. |

Straw men purchases are legal in real estate.
If straw men purchases were legal for guns you would pretty much have to admit there was no control over firearm ownership which I have trouble believing is a good thing. |

No...
Straw purchases should not be legal... After all (a) if you want to buy w/o paper trail, purchase in-state via private sale, and (b) if you commit a felony, you loose your right to vote as well as your right to bear arms... It's further punishment for your crime... |

Unfortunately, that is not what the ATF believes. According to the ATF, buying a gun for someone else (other than as a gift)...even if they are eligible to own it, is a straw purchase. For example, a certain county has a 5-day waiting period. I went to a gun show on a Saturday and saw something I wanted to buy. But, I flying out the next day and wouldn't be back for several months. I could not get it because:
1) I wasn't going to be in town in 5 days; 2) The dealer couldn't legally ship it to me, even if I paid for it, filled out the 4473, and passed NICS in person; 3) I couldn't have a friend pick it up, if my name was on the 4473; and 4) I couldn't have a friend buy it and send it to me, because the ATF considers that a "Straw Purchase." BTW, I think we should allow almost anyone (including felons) to own a gun. If you are so dangerous that you can't own a gun, you shouldn't be on the streets. If you are convicted of murder, rape, armed robbery, child molesting, kidnapping, carjacking, etc...you should be given a date with a length of rope and a tall oak tree, not time in prison (at taxpayer expense) and life without civil rights. Quoted: The premise of the argument is flawed. A "straw purchase" is a method of circumventing law. They can't obtain it legally, so someone else gets it for them.

Straw purchases is a double edge sword. On one hand dad to kid/spouse to spouse/sibling to sibling/friend to friend is not a bad deal. However, it opens it up to good guy friend to felon transaction. Not that, that isn't happening now.
I am neutral on this subject. |

And as for this - Quoted: Depends on the felony... pre-meditated murderers should get MANY years for posessing any firearm, but someone who, for example, commited low-level credit-card fraud should still be able to own. screw that - I'll take all the crime deterrence I can get - any class of Felony (INCLUDING Winona Ryder's 'innocent' shoplifting) - NO Guns for You!

I know several people who were quite wild when they were younger. But now they have settled down and "grown up" so to speak. They have families, jobs with lots of responsibilities and so on.
I'm sure these people have commited acts in their life that would be considered "felonies" if they had been caught. And when I look at my friends, with their 3 year old daughters and how they dote on their family, I just can't think of a reason why they should be denied the right to own the weapon of their choice. George Bush used to do cocaine. Should his RKBA be revoked, or do you guys overlook such "youthful indiscretions?" I'd love to see dear old George Bush go to a gun dealer and fail the NICS check. That would crack me the fuck up. "Laura, dear, AIM Surplus has a great deal on AKs this week!" "But George, you know if I bought another gun for you, that would be a straw purchase, and a federal crime. Shouldn't the President of the United States be setting an example of following the laws?!?!" "But honnnney! Laura! It's a Romanian AK for only $300!!!!" -Nick Viejo. |

Quoted: What do you think? One word...Columbine. The shotgun used was done through a straw purchase. They're illegal as hell, and anybody that does it should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There is no grey area here. If you do not have the right to own a gun (ie: felon, wife beater, etc.), that's it. It's your own fault for putting yourself into that position. |

Sorry guys, but I gotta add another two cents. IMHO, [b]any felon[/b] should absolutely [b]NOT[/b] have the right to vote, or own a gun. That goes for anybody that's done time for murder, or anybody that's done time at a Federal Country Club prison. They have knowingly, negatively effected the lives of other law-abiding citizens. How would you feel if you had X amount of dollars invested in Company Y, and the people that run that company bankrupted it, leaving you penniless. Now say your spouse was so distraught over this, that they committed suicide. Should the person or persons that ran Company X get their privileges back when the get out of jail? I say no. I give no quarter to people that are stupid enough to comity felonies. They know what they're doing, they know it's wrong, and should be punished accordingly. This includes the loss of all voting, and gun ownership rights. Period.

Does the idea of respect for law and the judgment of the representatives we send to legislatures matter to anyone.
At common law, which everyone seems to love to quote so selectively, you lost all your property and rights. Your family couldn't inherit. Often you were hanged. It didn't matter if you were in or out of the can. It may make sense to restore these rights to non-violent felons, but in most states all felons can get their rights restored by applying to get their civil rights restored after some period of being a good citizen following release from jail. The burden was on them to show they're reformed. (The ATF is supposed to offer a similar procedure for those that can't apply for this, but Congress has not funded it). If you do a crime, the burden should definitely be on you to show you're reformed, and laying low in prison is not nearly enough to showt hat you've gotten your shit together. While with ordinary people the burden's on the govt. to take away our liberties--i.e., innocent until proven guilty--for those who've been convicted it should be the opposite. |

The law says you have to either know or have cause to believe that he is prohibited. For example, clean-shaven buisnessman...doesn't say anything about having a record...its legal. But, if the person mentions doing time...you can't do the sale.
I'm not sure where the burden is on looks. But, I would never sell a gun to a gun wearing gang paraphanalia, a FUBU shirt, or a skull cap. Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I want to sell my Marlin .30-30.

I object to restricting their ownership of firearms on two grounds: 1) If they're that much of a risk to society, they shouldn't be on the street! Keep them in jail or put them in the ground. Either one is fine with me. 2) If they're intent on shooting someone, getting (or making!) a weapon illegally isn't much of a problem. This is just like gun control in general: the ones who obey the law aren't the problem! |

a guy that worked for me a couple of years ago year had a
speeding ticket that was reduced to driving school and he had to pay for the class and court cost. he went to the class but failed to pay all but $50. anyway he did not think much about it untill he tried to buy a rifle at wal-mart. he did not pass the background check because a misdemenor warrant was issued for faliure to pay. this kept him from buying a new gun but in no way affects his right to own the firearms that he already purchased. he cleared up the warrant problem but still can not get a background check to go through quickly. he always had his wife purchase his firearms after getting tired of having to wait till the next day to get approval. |

[b]A straw purchase is: A purchase of any firearm with the INTENT of hiding the identity of the actual purchaser.[/b] Example: Person A buys a gun for person B for the purpose of protecting person B's identity. That is a "straw purchase". In theory, this has nothing to do with whether person "B" is legally able to own such a weapon. However, proving intent is very difficult to do if you can't show a reason why the identity hiding was done. Therefore, the "straw purchase" statute is only enforceable when person "B" is prohibited from owning firearms. |

My absolute view on this is everyone should have the right to own firearms, even violent convicted felons. If they are released from prison, then they have served their time for the crime and payed their debt. Is their life any less important than yours?
And yes, I understand that violent felons will most likely commit another violent crime...but do you really think banning guns (for just them) is going to stop them? I will be very suprised if anyone here can actually answer that with yes. What is needed is to hold people responsible for their actions. Let felons buy guns to shoot and defend themselves with, but if they use a gun to commit another crime have a two strikes and you are out rule and lock them up permanently as they have shown repeatedly that they are violent, are not responsible, and will threaten the lives of others. I can't believe that people here actually think that creating a class of people that can't own weapons or certain kinds of weapons is completely acceptable. That attitude will eventually be used and turned against you even though you haven't committed any crime...oh sh*t that's already happend with the AW ban. Now please restate your arguments for this and justify creating a "class" of people who should not be trusted. |

Quoted: My absolute view on this is everyone should have the right to own firearms, even violent convicted felons. If they are released from prison, then they have served their time for the crime and payed their debt. Is their life any less important than yours? And yes, I understand that violent felons will most likely commit another violent crime...but do you really think banning guns (for just them) is going to stop them? I will be very suprised if anyone here can actually answer that with yes. What is needed is to hold people responsible for their actions. Let felons buy guns to shoot and defend themselves with, but if they use a gun to commit another crime have a two strikes and you are out rule and lock them up permanently as they have shown repeatedly that they are violent, are not responsible, and will threaten the lives of others.

Now please restate your arguments for this and justify creating a "class" of people who should not be trusted. What about those unfortunate ex-felons with 20 year old records who go hunting only to be busted for being in possession of a gun? |
