Translating PSH into English
So, guy breaks the law. It must be a loophole or skirting or something. It can’t just be that he broke the law, illegally while committing a crime. I mean, that’s just too easy:
They also seized a laptop believed to have been used by Bowens to make the illicit purchases dating to March, when he obtained a federal firearms license. Bowens’ license, however, entitled him only to buy collectible firearms and historic relics, which are usually not capable of firing bullets. Apparently he found a way to skirt those rules and purchase deadly weapons, turning them into profit.
By skirt they mean, of course, ignore. And by found a way, they mean did it anyway.
The two handguns he purchased this week for a total of $260 could easily fetch twice that much on the black market, said ATF Special Agent Joseph Green.
And by black market, they mean in New York.

Facts? We don’t need no stinking facts!
This should serve as a window to see into the future the gun-haters have in store for us. A future where you need a federal license to purchase non-functioning firearms.

Shhhh! No one tell them what C&R guns actually look like, or they’ll want to take mine!

A C&R license does not restrict your purchase of non-C&R firearms. You just can’t use your FFL license number or order by mail or etc. to buy modern guns.
