"So “straw buyers” can drive to Georgia (or South Carolina or North Carolina or plenty of other states) from New York, legally buy five handguns for $200 apiece and (illegally) sell them in New York to criminals for $400 or $600. The price is always much higher where the product is illegal; it's an easy way to make money."

Or they could just walk over to Vermont or to Pennsylvania from New York. Why is it just the southern states that the libs use as examples of 2nd Amendment-friendly places?

This is already illegal under federal law, but it is often quoted. Nobody can legally go to another state and just buy a handgun and take it home. It has to involve dealers. Now, a Georgia resident can buy a gun on the streets legally and then drive to NY and sell it illegally.

Of course the "straw buyer" buying a handgun out of state is violating the law already. There is nothing "legal" about their purchase.

And needless to say since they are already violating the law it seems kind of unlikely that they wouldn't continue to violate whatever other ineffective, rights limiting law the anti-gun folks are proposing.
