Original Note:
The lack of background checks for private sales of firearms has no impact on the illegality of the purchase under 18 USC ยง 922(g). The murderer knew he was in the country illegally & therefore was a prohibited person under the law, making his purchase/possession illegal. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/922 https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-1431-department-memorandum-prosecutions-under-922g https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=1623
