“Reporters worthy of the name would have pointed out that buying a gun for a family member or friend as a gift is not a straw purchase. It’s a violation of the law only to buy a gun for a prohibited person. “
It covered the gift exception and prohibited persons.
I have to answer that “prohibited person’ bit almost every day. The sentence is not clear, and makes it sound like they’re saying you can buy guns for anyone you like as long as that person is not a prohibited person. This is not the case. “My friend Ralph didn’t want to fill out the form,” is not a gift.
