Have you not read the discussion? There is already a law and requirement in place preventing straw sales. What new law would you pass that would work if this one isn't?
Simple. Throw out the law that doesn't work and copy the law from another state where it does work.

An obvious change many states have made is to limit the number of guns that a person can buy at one time and/or a period of time. Someone who wants to make a quick buck selling straw guns wants to buy as many guns as they can over the shortest period of time. Someone buying a gun to hunt or to target shoot doesn't have a need to buy in those quantities. If every state made that change, it would choke the source of straw crime guns nationwide. Our cops and citizens would be safer.
