If they then gave it to the minor then the cops broke the law. Since most cops are above the law, nobody was charged. Wow talk about justice.

The article makes clear that a private transfer to this individual is not illegal.

The court ruled that longtime Detroit gun dealer General Laney didn't violate federal or state statutes that allow licensed 18-year-olds to buy or receive a pistol from a private party, but prohibits them from purchasing a gun from a federally licensed gun dealer.

Your right I misread. I was talking about a case where an undercover cop made a straw purchase and on the 4473 form said he was purchasing it for himself. The courts ruled the cop lied on the form and the gunseller wasn't negligent.
