A 25-year-old Pennsylvania man was sentenced on October 18, facing up to two decades in state prison after pleading guilty to making multiple firearms straw purchases at gun stores across Bucks County according to authorities. A straw purchase is defined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) as buying a firearm for a person who is prohibited by law from possessing guns, or for someone in general who does not want their name associated with the purchase.
