You're obviously new to Phil. Rest assured, anything you look up about him, it's already old as fuck news here. Most of us in this thread have been following Phil's bumblefuck antics for years. We know he's white as the driven snow.
And while Phil can legally own firearms, he is prohibited by a barrier of him being too fucking poor to afford one, and the fact that no FFL who wants to keep their license would ever sell to someone who clearly has no business being around firearms like Phil. He doesn't know how to behave like a normal adult, so he tosses up red flags like confetti at a parade. No dealer will ever sell to him.
