Supreme Court Will Decide in January
Does a citizen's right to "keep and bear Arms" include the right to legally purchase a firearm with the intent to later transfer that firearm (through an FFL) to another citizen whom the transferrer knows to have no criminal history or record—in this case their uncle?

Arguments for Abramski v. United States will take place in January. Bruce Abramski, a retired police officer, bought a handgun for his elderly uncle because he could get it at discount as former law enforcement. Mr. Abramski checked the box on the federal background check form that said he was the “actual buyer."
ATF pursued the case against Mr. Abramski for saying he was the “actual buyer” in the original sale.
Stay tuned.
