In the Monty Python Pantheon of Silly, this case takes the prize. It is a lawsuit against a question on a Federal form.

When he went to buy a gun, Bruce Abramski checked Yes on ATF form 4473, that he was “the actual transferee/buyer” of a Glock 19.
In truth, he was not. It was a false statement.
As he arranged in advance, Abramski bought the Glock for his uncle and delivered it to him four days later. At the time he bought it, Abramski was a "straw purchaser."
After losing his motion to suppress evidence of the deal, he pleaded guilty - conditionally - pending appeal. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals denied his claims and his attorneys managed to convince SCOTUS that this was a case worth reviewing. Oral arguments are scheduled for January 22, 2014.
Below the orange bulls eye are the facts, summaries of the arguments and some thoughts on this case.
