The complaint says Black told authorities that over the summer he received money for the Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle from Rittenhouse, his friend, who was too young to have legally purchased the weapon himself.

My question then is:

Does the money alone make it a straw purchase, in light of the fact the weapon was only loaned to Rittenhouse?

Last I checked its not illegal to let a teenager use a rifle.

It was a straw purchase plain and simple...legally they fucked up, state is going to fry him.
