As already mentioned, if you are buying the firearm, you ARE the buyer. EVEN IF YOU MAY RESELL.
If someone else gives you money to purchase a firearm, because they are not legally able to, you are not the buyer.
Dude, you're busted, man up.
This is the quote of your first post here. I converted your original italics emphasis to bold because of the quote window. Anyone who is even marginally proficient with English and rudimentary logic will understand the message of your post.
If "Action X takes place",
"because of Circumstance Y", then "Conclusion Z".
Lets analyze your sentence. Circumstance Y is a qualifier for the verb in Action X. It qualifies the "why" Action X is taking place. The implication is that Conclusion Z is reached because of the Circumstance that qualifies the Action. When you put back the real words, from a legal standpoint, the statements are simply not true.
The fact is that Conclusion Z is
not dependent upon how Circumstance Y qualifies Action X, and in fact, Conclusion Z is factually true given Action X, no matter what Circumstance you may choose to put in as a qualifier.
In simpler terms... "Action X, Conclusion Z" is the legal fact. When you add "Circumstance Y" to the middle, the message you are communicating is no longer correct.
Let's try a speeding example:
"Driving over the speed limit is against the law."
Action = Driving over the speed limit. Conclusion = Is against the law.
Now let's add a misleading circumstance:
Driving
30 mph over the speed limit is against the law.
Circumstance:
30 mph over. Note the emphasis.
That sentence implies that I have to drive 30 mph over the speed limit to break the law. This is not true. Driving any amount over the speed limit is against the law.
It is important to note here: Both sentences are technically true absent any relevant context, however...
in the context of the conversation, very misleading. Absent context, it is fine to say "driving 30 mph over the speed limit is against the law." But in a complex conversation about driving and speed limits and driving laws, when you suddenly chip in Driving
30 mph over the speed limit is against the law... The context changes and that is why your original post was misleading.
This poor horse is dead. The price of glue should drop in the morning.
