This event is a bit dated (2000), but still interesting.
=================================
A controversy occurred after Sarah Brady recounted in her book that she had purchased a Remington .30-06 rifle with a scope and safety lock at a Lewes, Delaware, gun shop, for her son, James Scott Brady, Jr., "as a Christmas present" in 2000. According to Delaware Justice Department spokeswoman Lori Sitler, this purchase was apparently a "straw purchase". Under the gun laws, her son, as the intended recipient of the weapon, should have undergone the required background checks, although he has no criminal record.
According to a quote in the New York Times, "We hope that it's innocuous and there's been no laws violated," said James Jay Baker, chief lobbyist for the National Rifle Association. "It's obviously interesting that Sarah would be purchasing firearms of any kind for anybody, given her championing of restrictive guns laws for everyone."
Ms. Brady was not indicted by any grand jury, state or federal, in the incident.

I find it interesting that the woman who would inflict upon us more restrictive laws, can't seem to follow the ones already on the books.
Full Version: Did Sarah Brady illegally buy a gun for son?

My brother, I see her as I do Cindy Sheehan...her personal grief
overwhelms her issue-driven balance. But then, I've seen men
so grieved by the loss of brothers they damned their own soul
by wasting non-combatants.
The right to bear arms is sacrosaint IMHO and we will assure it.
