I can't believe the Daily News is letting the truth get in the way of a good story.

Sarah Brady...criminal? Probably not. Hypocrite...MOST DEFINATELY!!. Why, would someone who bemoans the ownership of firearms, actually purchase one of the "evil weapons" in the first place? Thus, the hypocrit moniker.

Yesterday, a spokeswoman for the Delaware Department of Justice said it misinterpreted the law and that Brady was not obligated to state that the gun was for her son as long as he was legally qualified to own a firearm.

I am not an expert on the relevant law but this still does not make sense to me. According to this sentence, the purchaser makes the determination as to the legal qualifications of the person they intend to buy the weapon. I thought some type of governmenal agency, state or federal, makes this "gun control law" determination based on the background checks.

Does this interpretation effectively make straw purchases legal, as long as you assert and they can't disprove that it was a gift, and that the gun recipient didn't pay the buyer?

So, is the Daily News saying that Sarah took advantage of a "Straw Purchase/Gun Runner Loophole"?
