Can we talk about illegal firearm sales?

Since you started with this, let's take this analogy a bit further. If a pharmaceutical drug manufacturing concern gets a legal order from a pharmacy for fentanyl and fills that legal order, should the drug company be prosecuted if one of the pharmacists sells said fentanyl out the back door to people who don't have a prescription?
I'm not going to wait around for a reply. I'll just leave this here...

From the OPs article----->

"...lawsuit seeking to hold local gun retailers and major gun manufacturers, such as Smith & Wesson, Glock and others, responsible for illegal sales like those uncovered in the investigation."

So if S/W, Glock etc sell stock, legally, to an FFL holder, should the gun manufacturer be prosecuted if a gun store employee sells guns illegally out the back door?

The federal employees who issue the licenses should also be prosecuted along with the undercover agents who attempt to make the illegal purchases.

If the drug company is aware of the mismanagement and continues to supply the pharmacist, then yes I think the drug company deserves punishment. Aiding and abetting any crime is a crime in my book, but I have no idea if that applies in law. Just my opinion.

the pharmaceutical companies are just manufacturers of inanimate objects according to GrossFlab.

Covered that.

Note use of word “legal.”

Twice.

Go after the precursor suppliers. That will fix it.

Sorry, charging a seller or a manufacturer for a straw firearm purchase is just bullshit. Sellers and manufacturers have no way to judge a buyer's intent. The proposed law would only exist for the purpose of punishing people you don't like.

I’m beginning to think that maybe the drug cartels should be governing Mexico.
What makes you think they’re not? Lots of moving pieces and they have their grubby paws in enough of them to have the controlling interest.
