Not prevented = illegal
Via Kevin, Jared Loughner did not obtain his gun legally. He committed a felony to get it. When the press says he bought his gun legally, they mean that he was not prevented from buying one.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Very good point, though I’ve heard the school could have been more vigilant in insisting he get a mental health evaluation that would have caused him to fail NICS. Which only would have motivated him to obtain a weapon by other means (like from the street, through his druggie friends, or by burglary, etc.).
Of course, since he’s probably facing the death penalty for multiple murders the DA likely won’t bother tacking on a comparatively piss-ant charge like this.

As many times as I’ve filled out 4473s, I didn’t even think of that. Of course, I can answer all the questions right anyway, so I stopped paying attention to them.
