At 11 a.m. on Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear one hour of oral argument on the scope of the federal law that seeks to block “straw purchasers” of guns — that is, those who buy firearms for someone else without revealing that they have done so.

Representing the federal government will be Joseph R. Palmore, an Assistant to the U.S. Solicitor General.
