Owned! Mark Kelly (D-Media Whore) might have committed a felony being ‘straw purchaser’ of AR-15

democrat-logoDon’t worry. Mark Kelly will never see justice. Democrats, and media whores like Mark Kelly always get away with things like this simply because they are Democrats and play into the left wing gun grabbing mantra. According to Gateway Pundit via TheObamaFile however, Mark Kelly’s little AR-15 purchase last month in which he said he planned on ‘not keeping’ makes Mark Kelly sound like a ‘straw purchaser.’ If that is the case, and Kelly did act as the ‘straw-purchaser’, that could be a felony.

If Mr. Kelly did not intend to keep the AR-15, but to give it to another, he is committing a felony by being a “straw purchaser” under current law, and he must have stated on the ATF Form 4473 that he was buying it for himself, so he committed perjury on the BATF form, also a felony.

      So you admit that the unequal application and selective enforcement of laws is acceptable? Gotcha. But we already knew that about progtards and their enablers.

    As much as I dislike Mark Kelly, He did nothing wrong. It is completely legal for someone to purchase a firearm as a gift to give to another person as long as that person could legally own the firearm and could have walked in and legally purchased the firearm him/herself. If he was purchasing the gun to transfer to someone who COULD NOT have walked in and legally purchased the firearm, then that is a STRAWMAN DEAL AND IS ILLEGAL………………( Retired– firearms salesman for 18 years )

      Not true. This is from ATF Web Page.
      Keep in mind that a straw purchase is a purchase in which the actual purchaser uses someone else — a.k.a. the “straw person” — to purchase the firearm and complete the paperwork. Generally, the straw purchaser is used because the actual purchaser is not eligible to conduct a transaction because he or she is a felon or other prohibited person.
      *****However, a straw purchase occurs even when the actual purchaser is not a prohibited person. The crime committed is knowingly making a false statement on the Form 4473 indicating that the straw purchaser is the actual purchaser, when this is not the case. Additionally make sure you familiarize yourself and anyone who purchases a firearm as a gift with the rules associated with the ATF I 5300.2 pamphlet.

        Mark filled out the paperwork,passed the NICS check, paid for it with his own money as far as anyone knows and left the store with it. he IS the purchaser, there is no evidence that he made any false statements or that he went down the street and handed the gun over to an prohibited person. At this point it is his personal property and he can do with it as he wishes, including gifting it, to another lawful owner, subject to any local laws. There is no evidence that he purchased the gun for anyone but himself, nor that he paid for it with anyone else’s money, nor that he was involved in any conspiracy to buy a firearm for a prohibited buyer. He said he wanted to see how easy it was to purchase an AR-15, found out, said he was going to give it to a police dept. Nothing illegal about any of this. He could give it to his wife/ brother/ sister/ mother/ father/ cousin/best friend if he wanted to and no law would be broken, provided they were not prohibited owners, No straw deal occurred. ATF1 5300.2 is the “Youth Handgun Safety Act. Under 18yrs, 21yrs in some states, cannot lawfully own a handgun. AR-15 is not typically a handgun.
