prosecution. The authorities won't know, unless the purchaser is an absolute idiot who knows nothing about the gun he's buying, until after the fact. That's why it is on the form that it is illegal to buy for someone else - a warning to the buyer that, if they are making a straw purchase, it is against the law and they WILL be prosecuted if found out.

Simple analogy - the guy who buys a sixpack of beer for the 14 year old hanging out at the Quik Stop is committing a crime. If the kid is caught and fesses up to where he got the beer, the purchaser is in deep shit. Not only that, if the seller saw the kid standing outside hassling people to buy him a sixpack, and he saw the purchaser hand it over, HE is in deep shit.

It's called PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
