Guns for Grandma?

The NRA portrays and defends private sales of firearms as merely among family and friends. From a public notice on May 3rd by the U.S. Attorney's office in Virginia: "Kimberly Yvette Dinkins, 44, of Manassas, Va., was sentenced to 18 months in prison, followed by two years of supervised release, for dealing firearms without a license. ... According to documents filed in connection with the case, Dinkins purchased 31 firearms – all handguns – on three consecutive weekends from Nov. 17 through Dec. 1, 2012. ... the firearms bought and sold by Dinkins were eventually recovered from juveniles and felons who utilized the firearms during drug trafficking schemes."
