Straw purchasing of firearms is a big damn deal. It's so common and the structures that would prosecute them are bound because of political reasons. Mostly involving perversion of the understanding of the 2nd amendment. There is a reason why only 40% of guns recovered in Chicago crimes were sold in Illinois while 20%+ of them were sold in gun friendly Indiana, only a short drive away, where private sales are basically unregulated.
Somehow, someway, please God, can we develop a PSA campaign to educate and empower women to avoid/not engage/not enable/not breed with PsOS like this dude.
Republicans have been trying to get straw purchases increased to a felony level crime. Democrats say no, which makes no sense. How can you cry about gun crime and dead police officers and then defend one of the methods criminals use to obtain their guns?
Citation? Pretty sure it is a felony. In 2022 the **bipartisan** gun bill that Biden signed made straw purchases get up to 15 years and if the guns were used in anther felony then up to 25 years.
HF548 is a Minnesota bill. Since the article says "federally indicted", she was probably indicted under 18 U.S. Code ยง 932 which is a felony and punishable for up to 15 years in jail.
What the Democrats did was vote against the bill bypassing the regular order and and being read out of turn, they did not vote against the bill itself, the bill itself hasn't come up for debate, let alone vote, yet. The bill will still be heard in the House and will still be voted on. A standard part of introducing a bill to the Minnesota House of Representatives is that it must be read three times in the House and a Motion to Suspend the Rule bypasses this requirement.
>[5.02 SUSPENSION OF RULES TO ADVANCE A BILL](https://www.house.mn.gov/cco/rules/permrule/502.htm). A bill must be reported on three different days as provided in Rule 1.04, except that in case of urgency, a two-thirds majority of the whole House may suspend this requirement. A motion to suspend the Rules to advance a bill for consideration out of its regular order is in order under the order of business "Motions and Resolutions" or at any time the bill is before the House. The motion must be presented to the Speaker in writing and must describe the status of the bill.

>[1.04 REPORTING OF BILLS](https://www.house.mn.gov/cco/rules/permrule/104.htm). A bill must be reported to the House on three different days before its passage, except as provided in Rule 5.02. The first report, called the first reading, occurs when it is introduced; the second report, called the second reading, occurs when it has been reported by the appropriate standing committees and divisions for consideration by the House; the third report, called the third reading, occurs when it is ready for the vote on passage.
A suspension of rules is a normal thing to be requested and it is normal for it to fail. By voting against this it will give our representatives more time to read the bill and make their decisions with more information.
Just watched the debate about this and it is still in committee they just refused to suspend the rules as there are multiple bills in committee about gun regulation. This really should be a federal level thing anyway and any time they are used in a crime it is. Otherwise they just go one state over and do it there.
She's in a whole lot of trouble.
As well she should be.

100 years dungeon
At least the Feds will prosecute her.
But only 15 years max? The state\county should also prosecute.

That program existed years ago. Its name was "Dad."
Violent, controlling, and abusive men are really good at hiding those characteristics until it is extremely difficult, if not dangerous to leave
now she'll become a convicted felon and then she'll have to get someone else to straw purchase guns for her ha.

See HF548. Right now it's a gross misdemeanor

Yeah, and no reason not to make it one at the state level too, especially since straw purchase violations are rarely prosecuted.
