There is also a very interesting back story that is described here: http://blogs.roanoke.com/dancasey/20...d-by-the-feds/
Not sure want's true and isn't. It's rather confusing. But this may explain why the case was prosecuted in the first place.

Listening to the arguments the first five minutes will make you cringe.
AUDIO TRANSCRIPT They describe a classic straw purchase and the lawyer, Dietz, says that it is lawful. Quote:

I got into a protracted argument with a poster on another forum that you can gift a firearm to anyone while he argued that you may only gift the firearm to a family member which is not true. He claimed to be a retired gun shop owner but I believe he was arguing from the text of the old 4473 form prior to the removal of the gifting question.

If anyone bothered to read the briefs, the Government had already conceded that point, Brian.
Fact is, there were a lot of concessions that we had thought were normally unlawful. |

Well, I'm no legal scholar. I was not aware that something written in a court brief amounted to over turning a legal principle on which people have been convicted and jailed.
I guess that leaves me more confused than ever. Is that not the very point on which the government's case is based?
