Well, good thing those guys in the black robes these days are a bit conservative (the majority vote) this time around.

Well, it is easy to betray over your identity and age via mail - than if standing vis-a-vis to somebody. That's what I mean. Little boy "leasess" the identity of his father, and there he goes and is being given a new toy. Couldn't happen if daddy has to show up in a store.

Problem is, Daddy has to show up in person to the FFL, so no, it couldn't happen.

And how did little boy get all that cash for a gun anyway?

By using his daddy's credit card.

Doubt it.

Still doesn't change the fact that Daddy has to be the one to physically pick it up, prove his identity, and most states have a 2 week waiting period for which then he has to go back and phyically get the gun. This is for a handgun typically (They call it a cool off period). No waiting on rifles though, but since a rifle is never used in a crime, its not a big deal.

Why do you assume the Supreme Court will do anything other than what it has consistently done for the last 50 years? They will always enhance government and corporate power and limit or circumscribe individual rights and freedoms.

Their job is to interpret the Constitution. That is why they exist. In this case, they have no other choice but one choice, so I have no doubt which way they will go, especially considering that they are for the rare time in history very much one sided to the conservative side, which directly translated, they will not be changing much from how the majority of the citizens of this country see things. The short answer - DC is about to lose this one.

(and yes here I am being subjective) let's hope that "The Nine" (Didn't I see those black robes in Lord of the Rings) don't do something like state that all Americans have a right to own a musket.
