My first thought is that straw purchasers should be charged with any crime that results from their purchase, even many years and multiple owners later.

What is your second thought?
Actual strawman purchases are sales done to people who know they are getting a gun for someone who cannot legally buy it. Tough to prove, and tough to enforce.
Other than certain specific places in law, we are not our brother's keepers. Nor should we be. Multiple owners down the line a crime is committed, the original purchaser is no more responsible for than the gun maker or seller.
ALthough some folks think that they should be. THis is not just a slippery slope, its a very short steep one with a drop strait to hell at the end.
