Technically it is not against the law because he is "planning" to take possession of the firearm and voluntarily surrender it to law enforcement, so he is not necessarily buying it for someone else. I think he is full of it though. Why would you go into a gun store to buy a handgun, and just out of the blue buy an ar-15 to prove how easily you can get it? Of course he can get an ar-15 with relative ease. He is, if I am not mistaken, a former astronaut with the NASA program, which would probably suggest that he has an almost superlative military record with the Air Force or Navy as a pilot. I am just speculating on his military service, but I am pretty sure it is not far off the mark. The funny thing is he was trying to show a flaw in the system, but he used his own credentials as a measure. Makes no sense. If he wanted to expose a flaw, why not send a person with a questionable mental history, or a felony charge on their record to see if they could walk out with it? I guess he just didn't think on it to hard, or could it be he was there to actually get the ar-15 and thought no one would find out? Thoughts?
