Abramski case before the Supreme Court could end tyrannical drive for “universal background checks”

The United States Supreme Court seems poised to smack down the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for attempting to create laws on it’s own in a case known as Bruce J. Abramski v. United States, or simply Abramski.

Bruce Abramski is a former cop who is legally allowed to buy firearms. His uncle Angel Alvarez, can also legally buy firearms. Abramski purchased a Glock 19 pistol from a dealer using his law enforcement discount to get a better price, then sold the gun to his uncle. Both transfers—from the Virginia FFL to Abramski, then from Abramski through another FFL to Alvarez in Pennsylvania—followed the law.

The ATF then charged Abramski for perjuring himself on the ATF’s form 4473 for saying he was the “actual buyer.”

And here’s where it gets interesting: the “law” that Abramski broken regarding what the ATF calls a straw purchase isn’t a law at all, but a gross government overreach and an illegal expansion of the Gun Control Act of 1968.
