Supreme Court upholds straw purchaser law in gun case
The Supreme Court in a 5 4 decision upheld federal law banning straw purchasing when one person buys a gun for another. The ruling affirmed the need for background checks and paper trails to trace firearms to buyers, with Justice Elena Kagan writing for the majority. The case involved Bruce Abramski who bought a Glock 19 for his uncle, prompting debate over who is the actual buyer under the law.
