In part 1 we showed the severe penalties for individuals transferring guns across state lines. Similarly, it is illegal to sell a gun to someone whom you know, or have reason to know, does not reside in your same state.
US Code Sec. 922 (a)(5)”(It shall be unlawful)for any person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector) to transfer, sell, trade, give, transport, or deliver any firearm to any person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector) who the transferor knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, does not maintain a place of business in) the State in which the transferor resides; except that this paragraph shall not apply to (A) the transfer, transportation, or delivery of a firearm made to carry out a bequest of a firearm to, or an acquisition by intestate succession of a firearm by, a person who is permitted to acquire or possess a firearm under the laws of the State of his residence, and (B) the loan or rental of a firearm to any person for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes;” – See more at: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/44/922#sthash.2boGGmLd.dpuf
PENALTY — 5 YEARS PER COUNT (ie. PER GUN) When enforced, this law alone keeps criminals off the streets for a long time.
In this series I want to take a look at the many gun laws that apply to the illegal gun trade in the US, and prove that the agenda is NOT reduced crime (it is an undisputed fact that more guns = less crime), but a much more sinister anti-American one. I am utilizing the expert research of the NRA for much of these comments.
