How does a state sell some one a gun?
Not the state - though the state of montana operates a gun company ...
The reason guns are in criminal hands is currently this -
The gun is bought by people who dont have criminal records. Apparently they dont act shady and shifty @ the gun store either.
Then they sell them to criminals.
Cool.

Please provide a link about Montana operating a gun store.
Yes, guns are bought by people that do not have criminal records. I wonder how many times a gun store has customers that show up acting "shady" or "shifty". That's a bit hard to imagine. Buying a gun is a serious transaction. Selling a gun is a serious transaction. If I were selling a gun to some one, I would take a cautious approach, much as a bartender must do in order not to serve a customer too much alcohol. It is called being responsible.
Guns used in crimes in this area that have been recovered after a crime, are usually found to have been stolen.
State of SC didn't sell someone a gun, I have posted that article 1000 times, sorry I didn't think I had to post the same thing 1001 times -
OK here it is - and its changing cos its so old ... the latest news on it super cedes it.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said he will propose legislation to prevent a repeat of an incident last week in which a Lady's Island woman, who once pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, passed a background check and legally purchased a gun.
Days later, Alice Boland pointed the gun at an administrator and teacher at Ashley Hall, a private school in Charleston, S.C., and pulled the trigger, according to police reports.
Boland has been charged with attempted murder and four other gun-related violations. However, officials from the Charleston Police Department and U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said she will not face an additional charge of illegally buying the gun, even though she filled out a required federal questionnaire that asks if the purchaser has ever been judged mentally deficient or committed to a mental institution.

http://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/gun-shots/2012/09/gun-review-montana-rifle-c...Montana House Bill 246, the Montana Firearms Freedom Act, was signed into law by Governor Brian Schweitzer on April 15, 2009, and became effective October 1, 2009. This legislation declares that certain firearms and firearms accessories manufactured, sold, and kept within the state of Montana are exempt from federal firearms laws, since they cannot be regulated as interstate commerce.[12][13]
These guns are stamped "Made in Montana" and are not allowed to leave the state (yea not allowed ... wink wink ... not allowed) and hence are not subject to any of the interstate commerce laws.
Gun buying is serious ... but so is gun crime ... and criminals are getting guns from people who can and have bought them legally - as in their "associates". Privatre stranger to stranger sale is not what leads to the gun crime ... but still, if it was tied to you, and you sold it, you should make sure its tied to the new owner (much like a car or a bike)
Of course there is also the "stolen" gun ... put those guys names in a database too and keep an eye on em ... they should not have their guns "stolen" too often ... Usually when you get broken into, the theives really first steal your guns. They are not theft deterrents, they are theft magnets ... they just make sure you're not home when they break in.
Cool.
