Yes, it is. No question. It is someone else buying a gun on behalf of a person who is not eligible to buy it himself, using money provided by the ineligible person. How much more of a straw purchase could it possibly be?emoody007 said:Is this technically now a straw sale???

I haven't been able to follow TFL as closely as I'd like lately, but I don't think that there was any indication that the intended recipient was prohibited or otherwise not eligible to purchase a firearm.
Dreaming100Straight, emoody's post, which was quoted by Aquila Blanca and then myself, had absolutely nothing to do with natural born citizens, or who was in the U.S. "when the guns were acquired."
