A straw purchase is any purchase in which a second person agrees to acquire a firearm for someone who is ineligible to purchase the firearm for himself. A straw purchaser can be identified as a person with a clean background who purchases firearms specifically on behalf of a person prohibited from purchasing a firearm because that prohibited person is a convicted felon, domestic violence misdemeanant, juvenile, an individual who has been adjudicated mentally ill or one who is prohibited for other federally or state-defined reason from purchasing or possessing a firearm.

From NSSF website.

It is straw purchase if the paperwork was filled out in James’ name and he turned around and gave it to the kid who’s not legally able to own a ghn

“Simply put, a straw purchase is when one person buys a gun for another person who is not allowed to own a gun. It is a way for a person who is not prohibited from owning a gun to get a gun to somebody who is.”
