Mother pick them up so what grounds are they going to prove the sellers violated Federal laws? Because of the account holders name on the purchase from internet?

I would be leery of corporate buys if I was a gun dealer!

Diane Boyce picked up the three weapons from World Pawn Exchange over a three-month period - from Dec. 12, 2011 to Feb. 27, 2012.

"In the face of clear evidence that Diane Boyce was acting as a straw purchaser for her son, Jeffrey Boyce, neither WPE nor J&G performed a review of their own firearms records, "the complaint states.

    I have had dealings with J&G. I know first hand that the company goes by the letter of the law.

    From the article -

    "And now the mother of murderer Jeffrey Boyce has agreed to pay $400,000 to Englund's family and has also provided documents to assist in their lawsuit against the two gun dealers, the family's attorneys said Thursday."



    I don't understand why the can't report the truth.

    It would probably read like this. -

    And now the mother of murderer Jeffrey Boyce has agreed to pay $400,000 to Englund's family, apparently as ransom in order to stay out of jail and has also provided documents, apparently in order to stay out of jail and to assist in their lawsuit against the two gun dealers, the family's attorneys said Thursday.

    Just another example of how lawyers are ruining our country and way of life. We should close all law schools for at least the next fifteen years.

    So let me see if I can track on these issues and someone correct me if I am wrong on any point:

    1. J&G is the online retailer. They do not supply the firearm directly to the purchaser, so they do not need to ask any questions, have the purchaser complete the 4473 or run a NICS check. They have not committed any criminal act that is grounds for suit.

    2. J&G ships to WPE with the buyers name. They should only be releasing to the name on the firearm shipment invoice.
    - A. Did the son use moms name on the account profile for J&G? If so, then he lied and she was complicit in the act of lying.

    - B. If the sons name was on the purchase order from J&G, then did WPE violate federal law if they sold the firearms to someone other than who it was intended for?

    3. Bottom line as well is that the mother committed a crime by stating she was the actual purchaser of the firearm.


    I know that when I order online and it gets sent to the FFL they prefer or I prefer, the FFL verifies that my information matches the order documentation sent with the firearm.
