Well that all depends. I have no idea, but I am curious if she is a resident of the state of Delaware. If not, then there's your federal offense.

[Eugene Tackleberry]

This might be the federal violation: If she is not a resident of Delaware, and she bought a rifle in Delaware, but did not comply with Delaware laws (straw purchase under Delaware law), then that is a violation of federal law.

"A person may only buy a firearm within the person's own state, except that he or she may buy a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee's premises in any state, provided the sale complies with state laws applicable in the state of sale and the state where the purchaser resides. [18 U. S. C 922( a)( 3) and (5), 922( b)( 3), 27 CFR 178.29] "
