Unfortunately the people who are likely to be straw buyers don't read the New York Times. They probably don't even watch TV news. They tend to be whatever kind of woman is attracted to thugs, or desperate people who will do anything for a few bucks.

Probably all the highly publicized shootings in the past month involved weapons that were legally purchased from an FFL by the shooter or a relative, or in this case a straw buyer. They had nothing to do with the "gun show loophole" or private purchases.

A woman in New York state was arrested today in connection with this case. She is accused of purchasing the weapons that were used in the crime. The complaint was filed by the U.S. attorney in U.S. district court.

She says that she bought them for her own use, and they were stolen from her vehicle. However, there is no record of her reporting the theft. According to the complaint there is other evidence that she made a straw purchase on behalf of the deceased murderer.

All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in court, but federal charges pretty much end your life as you knew it.
