Known as the Combatting Illegal Gun Trafficking Act, Senate Bill 337 mandates that gun shops take real steps to safeguard against straw purchases. Gun dealers would be required to keep their inventory safe from burglars and smash-and-grab robbers, create and retain accurate and complete records of gun sales that could help police investigate and arrest straw purchasers, maintain video surveillance of purchases, and train employees on how to identify these straw purchasers.

"[T]his simply is not a Second Amendment issue."

Yes, it is. Any law that clamps down on lawful purchasers and subjects them to intrusive government attention absent probable cause chills the exercise of 2A rights, whether or not they are the primary targets.

Memo: If it isn't constitutional, YOU MUST FIND ANOTHER WAY.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
A state may not impose a charge for the enjoyment of a right granted by the federal constitution... The power to impose a license tax on the exercise of these freedoms is indeed as potent as the power of censorship which this Court has repeatedly struck down... a person cannot be compelled 'to purchase, through a license fee or a license tax, the privilege freely granted by the constitution.' �MURDOCK V. PENNSYLVANIA 319 US 105 (1942)
