Abramski v. US is the only gun case still pending as the Supreme Court finishes its current term the end of June.
Twenty-five of this term's 70 cases have been fully argued and await decisions. Abramski is one of five that had oral arguments more than four months ago.
It is a very simple case on its facts. A guy buys a Glock 19 handgun from a Federally licensed dealer without disclosing he was buying it for his uncle, knowing he was violating ATF rules.
It's a simple case on the law, too. Gun purchasers must sign an ATF form that states you have to buy the gun for yourself; you cannot buy it for others. Bruce James Abramski was convicted (with a suspended sentence and a slap-on-the-wrist fine). The ATF's rule is simple and clear and it is either lawful or it is not.

So what's the hold up?
Let's go below the orange loophole and speculate about it.
