Actually, the onus is on you. The reason is that you wish to take away rights. If it were on me, I would be arguing why I should retain rights, and that isn't the way the American Constitution and legal system works.
I must make the correction that "proper use" means putting a bullet out of the barrel at high velocity into a legal target. Occasionally that legal target will be a person. But I agree, that the main purpose of a gun is to kill another living thing even though many guns are used recreationally and never kill anything (most of mine, for example).
Still, as I stated, sometimes you need to put a bullet into another living creature (war, self-defense, hunting) so I don't see the negative in this.
Making the assumptions that the gang member is
a) of legal age
and
b) does not have a felony conviction that precludes purchasing fire arms,
he is still making illegal straw purchases and breaking the law. Therefore, this person is commiting a felony and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
