Supreme Court rules on 'straw purchaser' law

[muddywings]

I know, it's not like they have some kind of national gun registry...since that would be illegal and violate the constitution. So how do they track all these guns to said owners?

More directly, I'll explain the trace procedure as it was explained to me....1-write/subpoena manufacturer for records, which show where gun was sent. 2-write/subpoena distributor for where said gun went next. 3-write/subpoena store/ffl for 4473/name of purchaser. 4-write/subpoena/contact 4473 buyer.....and if he/she sold/transferred it then on till the trail goes cold. But that's not a "bona-fide" registry since big brother can't just get the info on the spot, right?

Thanks, that's what my understanding was too but I read a bit much into the original statement. Still seems like a dubious thing to state in a SC decision statement even though the original buyer still had to transfer to his uncle.
Just a whole bunch of herpa-derpa all around.
I didn't know about this case but sounds like a serious case of the dumb-asses on part of the buyer who should have known better in the first place
