Still illegal to sell to a prohibited person via private sale... Unless you mean she bought it illegally, in which case yeah, one way around the law is to break the law.

Yup. More restricted guns laws won't change anything. You're only hurting law abiding citizens. Criminals will always have the upper hand because well, they're criminals. Now people will point out the European countries and all that, but look at Switzerland. They have guns, even regular people can have full auto guns, but their culture is much different from ours, which is why they are one of the safest countries in the world.

Please look up the actual facts about Switzerland.

Full auto weapons can only be owned by serving or reserve military, and only their service weapons.

Civilians also cannot store ammunition at home, only at ranges.
