No.

A straw purchase is a purchase that conceals the identity of the actual purchaser. If someone buys a firearm with the intention of giving it (when did "gift" become a verb?) to someone else, the purchaser can honestly sign the 4473 saying that he (or she) is the actual purchaser.

If you buy a necklace at a jewelry shop with the intention of giving it to your wife or significant other for Christmas, would you argue that you are NOT the purchaser ... just because your use for the item is to wrap it up in fancy paper and put it under the Christmas tree/Chanukah bush?
