In reply to the discussion: I bought an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle in Philly in 7 minutes [View all]Lee-Lee
(6,324 posts)She detailed in her video that the purchase was an "assignment" and that she used the corporate credit card and corporate funds.
That means under the law she purchased the rifle for someone else- in this case a corporation because corporations can buy firearms- using that other persons money at their direction.
100% straw purchase.
It doesn't matter that then corporation could have legally purchased the gun in its name, because she did so it's a straw purchase. This was taken up in the Supreme Court a few years ago in Abramski vs US.
Evidently by transporting it around other than taking it directly from the store to her home she also violated some local laws too in Philly.
There is much irony in someone breaking the law in an effort to claim more laws are needed. And funny think is if she isn't prosecuted she will be a textbook case for the NRA to point at and say "you don't enforce the laws we have now why don't you do that before claiming we need new ones".
And anyone so ignorant of existing laws to do those has zero credibility advocating for new ones.
