Here is the question on the ATF Form 4473 which is required to purchase a gun in any US state. It is question 11.a
"""Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? Warning: You are not the actual transferee/buyer if you are
acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual transferee/buyer, the licensee cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you. Exception: If you are picking up a repaired firearm(s) for another person, you are not required to answer 11.a. and may proceed to question 11.b. (See Instructions for Question 11.a.)"""
If you answer no to any of the questions on the form you are not allowed to complete the transaction. So in effect every state already has a straw man purchase law on the books via the federal government.

This is what I was leading to. This is illegal, not legal activity. More people claiming they know the law when they don’t, like the gun show loophole. It’s all bs the gun grabbers spew. People who want to commit crimes don’t care two poops about gun laws. Gun laws only screw over people who follow the law, pay their taxes and so on.
I am more concerned about keeping mentally impared people from getting to buy guns as it seems like people with mental disabilities who then go in a kill people is a common thread. Yet we want to ban guns for everyone when crazies kill people.
