This investigation sounds fraudulent to me. More money spent IDENTIFYING issues in other states. Not even finding a solution, just letting everyone know that there is a problem going on in the gun world and that gun sellers/owners are capable of arming the free world and blah blah. ENOUGH WITH THE PROPAGANDA! The NRA should step in once again and regulate this mockery of our lifestyle

I know how everyone is outraged by the practices of our government, and we post these outrages, but my question is, how come we haven't banded together and try to lobby our government to stop these practices? As someone stated, "How do we know who they are buying for if they don't tell us" when it comes to straw purchases.
