Interpretation of the Law
« on: June 20, 2014, 05:03:08 PM »
Has anyone else heard about this ruling on "Straw Purchases".  I thought it was ok as long as the buyer was not prohibited from owing a firearm?

Sorry - You might have to copy and paste the link to get it to work.  Can't tell if it is live when I post.

dg, go to the lin Dan posted and read the two links I posted from John Pierce on this.

The SCOTUS decision really doesn't change the law. More than anything it clarifies existing law.

In fact the ruling doesn't change ANYTHING, as stated above, just clarifies.

It has been a very common misconception to that strawman purchases were when a non prohibited person purchased a gun for a prohibited person, when in fact ANY person buying on another behalf ( bonafide gifting excluded ) is a strawman purchase and thus a felony.

It always has been if you are purchasing a firearm for someone else with their money, that is a straw purchase.  If you purchase a firearm for someone as a gift that is and always has been fine.
