Anti gunner's hubby buys AR 15

It ate a baby, so by default it is a pit.

Still waiting on the DOJ to arrest him for straw purchasing

He technically didn't.

"and therefore could not have passed question 11a of the NICS background check form 4473."

Form is filled out on transfer not on sale.

However it would be unfair to assume that Holder did not have a special task force ready to make an arrest on the spot.

Of course it would have been the store owner, but hey

Just attempting a straw purchase of a firearm is a crime IIRC.

And wouldn't him lying about question 11a be in violation of the law?

While lying on the form would be a felony, he hadn't fill out the form at that point.

Conspiring to skirt the law like this is prosecutable as you pointed out, but the dealer has not only refused to conspire but has fulfilled his obligation to refuse the transfer. Which I'm betting was the real intention; bust an FFL in a high profile mess of silliness in order to get traction to further his agenda and add to his 15 minutes.

I think this was meant partly as a tit-for-tat retaliation for that NBC reporter (Dave Gregory). And it fell through. As if his fate was "sealed" LOL.
