Supreme Court Rules Gun Purchasers Must Report If Buying Guns For Other People

TINLEY PARK, IL - JUNE 16: Jason Zielinski looks for a handgun for a customer at Freddie Bear Sports on June 16, 2014 in Tinley Park, Illinois. In a 5-4 decision the Supreme Court ruled that it is a crime for one person to buy a gun for another while lying to the dealer about who the gun is for. The law had been challenged by retired police officer Bruce Abramski who was charged with making a "straw purchase" after buying a gun for his uncle, a lawful gun owner, in order to get a police discount at the dealer. When asked on the paperwork if the gun was for him he checked yes. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
