Philadelphia is suing several firearms vendors it claims "recklessly and repeatedly engaged" in straw purchasing transactions, the city said Tuesday. The city alleges the vendors have fueled its gun violence crisis.

The city accused Frank's Gun Shop and Shooting Range, Delia's Gun Shop and Tanner's Sports Center of consistently proceeding with gun sales despite signs of illegal activity such as high volumes, multiple sales of duplicate firearms and producing fake IDs.

The city and its partners in the lawsuit are aiming to stop the vendors from engaging in straw purchases and require them to add written policies to prevent future straw purchases. Frank's, Delia's and Tanner's may also pay damages for the harms caused by Philly's gun violence.

Can they not take responsibility for their own actions?

well if those places have actually done anything illegal, they have bigger issues to contend with from the ATF, no?
