My favorite part…
“Straw purchases interfere with firearm regulation and recordkeeping, and federal law makes it a crime to knowingly make false statements to a firearms dealer in connection with the lawfulness of the sale.”
But the government is totally not keeping a database…
“As such, FOPA makes it illegal for the national government or any state in the country to keep any database or registry that ties firearms directly to their owner.”
They didnt need a database in this case. Someone probably ratted the kid out and then he quite obviously ran his mouth to whatever agencies investigated, without counsel
present. He threw the guy on the other team a slam dunk.
