"CBS News' Paula Reid purchased an AR-15 for a news segment that aired Thursday on CBS This Morning — and is now being accused of breaking federal law. According to the gun store's general manager, Reid said the rifle was for her own use, but when CBS reported on the story, it revealed she had later given the gun to a third party.
I hope she's charged with a felony!

Awww did the nasty reporter say something you disagreed with? Lets charge her with a felony!
You sound like Trump.
The Felony part will go nowhere. Reporter will say "I bought it with the intent to show how easy it was, afterwards I realized I really didn't want the gun, so I gave it to a federally licensed firearm dealer."

what is the point of having firearms laws in place if they're not going to be enforced?
go ahead, lets hear it.
you can't GIVE a gun away. That 3rd party has to go through a background check too and the transaction needs to be recorded.
She made a point on air to say she turned it over to Federal Licensed firearm dealer.
They acted like it was a big deal on how easy an honest citizen with no record could go buy a gun.
Next they'll be reporting on how easy it is to actually go buy a car so you can drive drunk.
no, you cannot. Just because you can physically do it, doesn't mean it is LEGAL. That's the point here, she made a straw purchase and that is a felony.
so I ask again because maybe I wasn't clear the first time: WHY BOTHER HAVING GUN LAWS IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ENFORCE THEM?
I love how people who know absolutely NOTHING about guns think they're subject matter experts.

Quote me the law where giving your gun to a federally licensed dealer requires him to undergo a background check. No worries, I will wait.

I'd love to see her get in trouble. It was her gun to do as she pleases and she gave it to a Licensed Dealer.
She did not buy it purposely for another individual. They don't bother with criminals buying guns, they won't bother with her either.

because as you point out...She did not buy it purposely for another individual. Thus...no crime.
