ENFORCEMENT OF AIDING AND ABETTING A FELON IS VAGUE

Aiding and abetting a felon, knowingly, it being an accessory to a crime.   Click here for some small clarification.  It is my understanding from the media that a 22 year old woman made a straw purchase of a gun purchase for a felon, knowingly.  The gun was later traced to the murder of a Colorado prison chief by the felon to whom she passed the gun.  Media said there is no law to make straw purchases of guns for felons, a felon.  While the straw purchase itself may not be seen as a felon, she took a risk that he would use it as he did so, shouldn't she be responsible?  Click here.  It was pointed out that a bartender is held responsible if he sells an intoxicated man a drink who then has an accident or hurts . Why should a straw purchase of a murder weapon be any different?

Republicans are playing fast and loose with the safety of our government, economy, and lives.  I guess I do not understand the function of the Attorney General.  Shouldn't Attorney General Holder be involved in some of these grossly unfair practices such as redistricting for which I read states must ask Federal permission before they act to make changes that influence voting unfairly.

Who is minding the store?  Is there a recourse for laws being unenforced.  Is that a factor influencing the Republicans pushing the budget to pay for fewer police?  

Will th damage done to middle class people in the past eight years ever be made up to them?
