could not a 'straw purchase' only be when you first buy the gun through an FFL and not from a private individual because with a private sale you don't have to fill out a government form were you have to state the purchase is for yourself?

Or could the gov. technically prove you did a straw purchase even with a private sale? And if so, how?
