I am hoping that we can come up with constructive ideas that we find tolerable that assist Law Enforcement and help combat any overreactions by those that want to create excuses for restricting firearms in the US.

Re: How to prevent straw purchases?
So if my ex comes up to the counter and orders every AR in sight, and does it in flawless, unaccented English (which she taught as a HS teacher) are you going to let her slide? After all, she was born in Mexico.anygunanywhere wrote:If someone who barely speaks english wants to buy your whole stock of ARs and wants to pay with cash call the ATF. We all know about the massive spike in firearms sales recently.Anygunanywhere

Re: How to prevent straw purchases?
I see no need for local LEOs to get access to the ticker proposal information. Only ATF.

Re: How to prevent straw purchases?
This probably won't go over well, but here goes:
Everytime a DL or CHL is presented for a purchase of a firearm through a dealer, the quantity is noted in a state/federal database.
You buy one firearm, a "1" shows up. You buy another a week later, another "1" shows up. You buy 14 the next day, a "14" shows up.
Every 30 days, the ticker rolls back to "0". Investigators could see if any one individual is buying wild quantities of firearms in any 30 day period. If so, they might give them a call and ask about it. I am relatively sure that if I received a call asking about firearms purchases from the ATF and I were involved in gun-smuggling, I would think twice.
In any event, it might give border-line guys needing money pause before they do it, and the ATF at least some idea of who might possibly be involved and who probably is not.
No specifics on type of firearm would need be mentioned, just the quantity, period.
