because there is no "straw purchase" law.

Update: There is a Wisconsin law 941.2905 against straw purchases.

941.2905:

Whoever intentionally furnishes, purchases, or possesses a firearm for a person, knowing that the person is prohibited from possessing a firearm under s. 941.29 (1m), is guilty of a Class G felony.

941.29 (1m):

(1m) A person who possesses a firearm is guilty of a Class G felony if any of the following applies:
(a) The person has been convicted of a felony in this state.
(b) The person has been convicted of a crime elsewhere that would be a felony if committed in this state.
(bm) The person has been adjudicated delinquent for an act committed on or after April 21, 1994, that if committed by an adult in this state would be a felony.
(c) The person has been found not guilty of a felony in this state by reason of mental disease or defect.
(d) The person has been found not guilty of or not responsible for a crime elsewhere that would be a felony in this state by reason of insanity or mental disease, defect or illness.
(e) The person has been committed for treatment under s. 51.20 (13) (a) and is subject to an order not to possess a firearm under s. 51.20 (13) (cv) 1., 2007 stats.
(em) The person is subject to an order not to possess a firearm under s. 51.20 (13) (cv) 1., 51.45 (13) (i) 1., 54.10 (3) (f) 1., or 55.12 (10) (a). (f) The person is subject to an injunction issued under s. 813.12 or 813.122 or under a tribal injunction, as defined in s. 813.12 (1) (e), issued by a court established by any federally recognized Wisconsin Indian tribe or band, except the Menominee Indian tribe of Wisconsin, that includes notice to the respondent that he or she is subject to the requirements and penalties under this section and that has been filed under s. 813.128 (3g).
(g) The person is subject to an order not to possess a firearm under s. 813.123 (5m) or 813.125 (4m).

I don't believe that Kyle met any of those requirements to be a prohibited person, and notice that age is not one of the criteria, for Dominick Black to be charged under state law of a Straw Purchase. Which leads back to a federal perjury charge for lying on the 4473.

But, seeing as Dominick Black never transferred the firearm to Kyle, but instead stored it for Kyle until he had his Illinois FOID card and turned 18, there may not be a straw purchase after all.

I agree with your reasoning. I also believe the prosecutor will still go after Dominick Black. I also think the Feds might try to as well. You know its being discussed in the Oval Office and Psaki will probably even comment on it.
