not legal…no checks, and armsful at a time…I read where the dealers were flabbergasted that the ATF wanted them to sell in this way…just cash for as many guns as they wanted

Yes legal, yes checks. You don’t appear to understand what a straw purchase is. The initial buyers absolutely had to have passed DROS for the sales to go through. These kinds of multiple purchases also require ATF form 3310.4 (PDF file) that the buyer must fill out, which normally leads to follow up phone calls, interviews and scrutiny, but in these cases there was an attempt to follow the buyers and guns clandestinely. That last part is what didn’t pan out so well.
