Didn't want to keep the david spade thread hijacked so I started this one.

Question: Even if a straw purchase is technically defined as buying a gun for someone else does that really make it totally illegal? Say I just wanted to buy a gun as a gift for a friend that is completely legal to own. I find it odd that would be an offense.

I forget the exact wording on the paperwork but the first yes/no question relates to you buying the gun for yourself and not someone else. If you are buying for a gift and honestly answer no to that question are you likely to be denied the purchase? (Maybe the exact wording stipulates not buying it for someone that cannot legally purchase themselves, so please correct me if I forgot that part)
