Setting them straight
GLN sets the media straight on straw purchases:
There is a fundamental flaw in this description. A ‘straw purchase’ is a violation of federal law and can not be done legally. The 4473 form requires to certify that they buyer is the actual buyer of the firearm(s), which in the case of a straw purchase is false. Lying on the 4473 is a violation of federal law. Therefore, the idea that “a person buys the gun legally” is a false starting point.
You could write that on a baseball bat and hit most reporters with it and they still wouldn’t get it.

“You could write that on a baseball bat and hit most reporters with it and they still wouldn’t get it.”
You need to use raised mirror image text on a bat and smack them upside their forehead with it; that way they see it in the mirror every day :-).

But it would still be fun to do.
