New Jersey Man Sentenced for Gun Trafficking

This week a 23-year old man in New Jersey was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine for using a straw buyer in Georgia to purchase handguns. We’re reporting on this because the point is clear, straw purchases are far from easy to make and it is very easy to get caught! Both the man and his girlfriend were found when they falsified federal forms, and stating that the guns were for the girlfriend’s use. Again, all this is worth mentioning because guns aren’t so easy to get through straw purchases, and the reporting of this incident highlights that there is always a paper trail. So we ask again, why does the mainstream media spend so much time reporting on the so-called dangers of straw purchases and not enough on how people are so easily caught when doing so?
