>>A straw purchase occurs when one person fills out the paperwork and buys the gun, then passes it along to someone else who is not permitted to own one<<
I’m not totally informed on the subject, but wouldn’t this situation require firearm salespeople to exhibit a level of psychic powers not typically seen in the population at large?

The "rogue buyers" appear to be government agents in the employ of the state.
How does this affect them?

Jason Post, a spokesman for Bloomberg, responded to the new law by saying Virginia appeared more eager to protect "the gun lobby" than to prevent illegal guns from getting into the hands of criminals. No such thing, if one wants to observe the Constitution of the United States, as an illegal gun. Guns may be possessed illegally, such a felon whose punishment included the loss of RKBA, but for the otherwise law abiding citizen, there is no such thing as an illegal gun, knife or other arm.

The suits were filed after guns were sold to undercover investigators during sting operations in which investigators attempted "straw purchases" of firearms. A straw purchase occurs when one person fills out the paperwork and buys the gun, then passes it along to someone else who is not permitted to own one.
I fail to see the problem here.
IF the person BUYING the gun checks out with the gun dealer, what the BUYER does with the gun after that is of no concern to the dealer!
This is like someone buying a car, then giving it to his worthless nephew, who robs a bank and uses it to escape, then the car dealer getting sued for selling the car in the first place! Makes NO F'N SENSE!!!!!

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine yesterday defended a new Virginia gun-rights law, saying it is designed to keep "rogue folks" from making "freelance gun purchases." Stick to the concerning problem Gov.
Freelance gun purchases don't kill in cold blood, some rogue folks do however.

I predict that Virginia is going to send one of Bloomberg’s boys to prison before this is all over.

I think this law was crafted to halt Bloomberg's hired thugs from conducting attempted straw sales to sting firearms dealers in other states. More states should follow the example to put Bloomberg's thugs out of business.
