So, did I miss the point at which FBI got involved and found out that there was a straw purchase for the receiver? Why were they executing the search warrant in the first place? What flagged it?

No idea, but if not the girlfriend turning on him, then the girlfriend may have simply told a friend or family member what she did. It’s risky to pull someone else in, in those situations.
As to the law itself, it probably wouldn’t even exist if the country actually PUNISHED felons appropriately. The problem, almost certainly, was the ‘slap on the wrist’ justice system drove people, and politicians, to ‘so something, anything’. So this was low-hanging fruit...and now we have it.
