Quote:
The whole intent of "actual purchaser" is to make sure the person filling out the form is keeping the gun. That would be a rather unusual new type of law that tracks where purchase money comes from. I don't understand how the ATF could prosecute someone for filling out the form as the future owner and then possessing the gun as owner.
I'd let the FFL decide if this was okay with him. Given the fact that the only part of the "purchase" that is legally important is the transfer, I can't see the problem.

Actually, that's not the whole intent of "actual purchaser" at all. It's perfectly legitimate to purchase a gun and give it as a gift to someone else. The law (ATF) is concerned with the source of the money.
The case in question is found
