“No piece of information is more important under federal firearms law than the identity of a gun’s purchaser — the person who acquires a gun as a result of a transaction with a licensed dealer,” Kagan wrote.

Justice Antonin Scalia wrote a dissenting opinion saying that the majority “makes it a federal crime for one lawful gun owner to buy a gun for another lawful gun owner.”

Gun control advocates hailed the ruling. “This is a very big and very positive decision that will save lives by keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people,” Dan Gross, president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement.

No, not really, but whatever.

They could ban all guns tomorrow, and there would still be shootings all over the place. Just like in other countries who already have such bans.

To believe otherwise is to be completely delusional.

I kinda thought it was already illegal to lie on the federal form, because it says right on the form, "illegal to lie on this form." Did they really need to make a federal case out of it?

Thib, that was my understanding as well.  Not really sure what they think they've accomplished here.

They've accomplished democratic anti-gun politicians will get more campaign donations because they are now seen as making progress on gun control.
