If you can purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer in the USA does it mean that you are a "law abiding individual"?

[kallend 2,118]

Some on this forum believe that passing the required background check automatically means that you are a law abiding individual.

Others point out that many "straw purchases" happen where someone who can pass the background check buys the gun for someone who can't pass it, and that doing this is a felony.

In the eyes of the law and given the information provided BY THE PURCHASER AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, yes.

But by all means, test it out - go to a gunshop and answer "no" to question 12a.

Iffy! I've known a few folks who have even spent some time in the clink and are 'law abiding citizens'. They just might have trouble buying a gun.

You tell me if you are - I don't know you.

So that's not enough information for you to determine whether I'm law abiding or not? That certainly didn't stop you when I confessed to disobeying a direct order while on active duty.

Didn't keep him from asking the question about in the NY thread, either.

Of course, I'm *sure* that it was an innocent question and in NO way was meant to make the impression that the woman made a strawman purchase

No, it isn't. It just tells us that you WEREN'T law abiding at some unspecified time in the past.

YES is the only answer

And someone on this board think that everyone is guilty till HE says they are not.

This, BTW, is a PRIME example of your BS games.

Please post a link to any post by anyone that wrote such a thing.

I mean really post it, not just claim that such a thing exists but you can't be bothered to find it.

I'm sure YOU have never broken any law in your life, but the correct parsing of the question means the premise is: does just the fact that you pass the NICS, by itself imply that you are law abiding?

Hold your fire! We haven't heard whether or not, there is in fact a rule in regard to response time! I may still be a 'law abiding citizen!
