Yep. Meant AUSA and typed DA... Getting old sucks.

I've discussed this same problem with straw purchases and trying to get them prosecuted in other threads. Ultimately, gun control isn't the current problem. We have more than enough laws on the books, hell, too many. The problem is these are just not prosecuted due to a serious lack of Federal court system. Unintended consequence is it looks to the liberals like we need more laws. They just haven't learned it will make no difference.
