"`` The Delaware Department of Justice initially insisted to The News that gun purchasers must declare who the weapon was intended for so that person 's background could be checked . 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 ."
"Form 4473 , question 11a reads as follows : 11. a . Are you the actual buyer of the firearm ( s ) listed on this form ? Warning : You are no the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm ( s ) on behalf of another person . If you are not the actual buyer , the dealer can not transfer the firearm ( s ) to you . Sarah Brady lied on the background check form , she bought the gun on behalf of her son and supplied it to him , thus ensuring that he would n't have to worry about the NICS check red flagging him . By gun control standards she 's guilty of a straw purchase and should 've been sentenced to ten years without parole in a federal prison ."
