Not really. Mr. Kelly (if you believe him) lied on the 4473. He indicated that he bought the weapon for himself, and not for others. Lying on a 4473 is a federal felony. If the law worked, he would be prosecuted. As the knowledgable people on this thread have been saying, the feds rarely enforce their own laws.
In this instance he would have had an out. The truth.
Since all of you seem to be ducking this one pertinent fact, despite the fact that I've asked it over & over again...

Second, since these are federal laws, how do states get away with "enforcing" them? Why haven't states that do so been sued by the feds? This is no different than immigration law. Either it's a federal issue or it isn't. Can the various states get away with passing immigration laws that are stricter than federal law?

I would be happy as soon as you provide verification and history concerning what you are talking about.
So where is the problem?

Looks like someone finally learned how to copy and paste.
If only 6% of those who were denied based on the background check were investigated per the Feds here in this memo bellow. Then is the other 94% who were also denied but not investigated should they then legally be able to purchase a gun? Why were the 94% not investigated? https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/bjs/grants/239272.pdf

Answer the question. You've ducked it multiple times in this thread.
It's pretty naive to think that a guy like this could not have gotten his hands on a gun if we had just cracked down on straw purchases. Nonetheless, it's a step forward from the NYT belief that this murder was a reaction to the gun ban legislation passed in CO.
Oh I see what you did. B/c there's not a question mark in {Explain how the Feds are "ignoring" a law when they bring the case to prosecutors and prosecutors say "You don't have a case."}, technically it's not a question. How clever.
Here: Are you ever going to man up and explain how the Feds are "ignoring" a law when they bring the case to prosecutors and prosecutors say "You don't have a case"?
