Another senseless death and an idea whose time has come. [View all]
http://www.indyweek.com/news/archives/2014/11/18/after-teens-death-in-raleigh-gun-control-advocates-renew-calls-for-reformAnother gun death caused by a felon who got a gun even though it is against the law for him to have it. How to fix this? Perhaps RI has the right approach.

The PD has a special unit that tracks down the legal purchaser of guns used by criminals and holds the legal buyer responsible for letting guns fall into the hands of criminals.
For my part the straw-buyer or private seller should occupy the same cell as the perpetrator using the gun they provided.
