re: Supreme Court rules against 'Straw Purchasers' of Guns

This seems like a wise, sane, prudent decision to me.

Well, the thread title is a little misleading. 'Straw purchases' are legal purchases for people who are not qualified to buy guns. I don't think that applies here.

Reading more, it appears that Abramski received cash in hand from the other individual before making the purchase and used his LEO discount when buying the gun. When he answered the question on 4473 'Are you the actual buyer' he said 'Yes,' however the money changing hands before the purchase proved he had a different intent.

Long story short, he could have received the money for the purchase AFTER the sale and this would have never gone to court.

I am anxious to see how this will be used to possibly infringe on private sales however...
