So one of the biggest advocate of stricter gun controls buys a gun for her son. She gets the required checks but gives it to her son who has had no checks done. Ironic? Everybody needs to see this

NY Daily News published a correction:

CORRECTION

A story in some early editions of yesterday's Daily News incorrectly reported that gun-control advocate Sarah Brady may have skirted Delaware's gun laws when she bought a rifle for her adult son but did not declare who was going to own the weapon. The Delaware Department of Justice initially insisted to The News that gun purchasers must declare who the weapon was intended for so that person's background could be checked. Yesterday, a spokeswoman for the Delaware Department of Justice said it misinterpreted the law and that Brady was not obligated to state that the gun was for her son as long as he was legally qualified to own a firearm. In addition, a spokesman for Brady said, "Sarah Brady told the gun store that the gun was for her son and filled out the forms that they asked her to fill out." The News regrets the error.

I wonder if that dolt realizes that if she were successful in closing the "gun show loophole" that she would not be able to give her son that rifle without a NICS check and a 4473.

 

And while we're on the subject of hypocrites: http://daysofourtrailers.blogspot.com/2012/08/jesse-jackson-jrs-foid-card.html

This blog post talks about Jesse Jackson Jr. and the fact that he's being treated for mental illness, which is a disqualification for Illinois' FOID card. The hypocrisy! It burns!!!11!!!!

WTF, there is a "gift exemption" for straw purchases under Delaware law? Never heard of it before.

Federal law has an exemption around what constitutes a 'straw purchase' and for gifting guns. Gifting a gun is allowed provided it is a 'bona fide' gift, and all state laws are followed. The 4473 form does not have to have the giftee disclosed and you fill it out as you are the actual purchaser. It is then up to the purchaser to make sure they are legally following the law around the actual transfer of the gun to the gift recipient. Like in NJ for long guns, the gift recipient must have a FID and the proper COE be completed.

 

IMO , its one of those things like NJ gun laws where they can still make the arrest on straw purchase charges, then it would be up to you to prove yourself innocent in court using the gift exemption.

Great. They should arrest her and sort it out later.

Interesting. If someone gifts someone else a handgun, does that "count" as a purchase for the receiver under NJ's OGAM?

Yes. Because the only way (outside of things like inheritance) for you to receive a handgun is with a PP.

I agree, but not on principle, but rather because that is what happens with most people. To not do so goes align with this thread, as that is hypocrisy.

I am also confused. As Dan pointed out, there is a federal exemption for gifts. So it wouldn't matter if Delaware has one. It would however matter, if Delaware specifically had a law restricting or prohibiting gifting.

Great. They should arrest her and sort it out later.

Actually mostly straw purchases aren't caught unless people are stupid enough to lie. Plenty of legit gifts are given without anyone kicking down anyone's door.
