Witnessing cultcha buying guns at a local pawn shop.

I am building a battlefield cross for a small memorial ceremony of a soldier that recently passed away in my unit, putting together a M4 clone (and I mean something that really only has to pass cursory inspection) and while getting a few of the last pieces I need there were three gentlemen buying AR pistols and something that looked like a knockoff MAC10. None of them really had a clue what they were buying, no sights on anything and none were interested in any accessory packages the guy at the counter offered. He started handing out the 4473's and the only instruction he reiterated was about straw purchases. He went over that point multiple times to each of them in fact, not sure any of them really understood it anyway, pretty sure those guns are going to wind up in evidence lockers after being used as social media props eventually. It's sad too, one of them kept stating how this was his first gun purchase, and you would hope they would get some basic instruction at some point but that's wishful thinking on my part. Kind of sobering watching firsthand as people make these kinds of purchases informed through whatever social media they engage with and not much else.

One of them got something in .300 Blackout, pretty sure he's going to chamber .223 in it at least once.
