    In the vast majority of states that’s true…

    Which leads to people intentionally not looking at license plates or even asking for a driver’s license.

    The only way to get in trouble as a seller is if you know the buyer can’t buy a gun, so sellers avoid all possible information, including age or if they live in that state.

    I purchased a rifle at like 12 at a flea market because I was already 6 foot tall and my dad wanted to see if I could. Dude didn’t ask for Idea and I handed him less than a hundred dollars

    As long as that loophole exists, anyone can get a gun. Even if they have to drive a state over.
