New idiotic US Supreme Court ruling against Abramski who purchased a firearm using a law enforcement discount, filled out the 4473 saying he was the actual buyer, then sold the firearm to his Uncle, a fully qualified and eligible buyer USING A FFL to stay within the law, and all the Leftists, Kagen, Kennedy, Sotomayer, and Ginsburg said that was a straw purchase. Kagen in particular wrote that the firearm couldn't be traced. Huh? Really? Sold through an FFL to his uncle and it can't be traced? Seriously Kagen is completely incompetent. Exactly how long do you then have to wait before you can sell a firearm after you purchase one and sell it through an FFL to an eligible, background checked buyer? That's what this ruling now does to everybody. If you check the box on the 4473 that you aren't going to own the firearm for the rest of your life, you have to check the box that says you aren't the actual "ultimate" purchaser and every FFL in the country will deny the transaction on the spot! Then if they find out you sold the firearm a year later, two years later or five years later, they will say you lied on the 4473 because you intended to sell the firearm all along and it was a straw purchase.
