I'm aware of some raffles where the winner is simply given a check for the MSRP of the gun. So gun laws don't really apply. Also, if I buy a gun and raffle it off (instead of giving the winner a check), it's simply a gift from myself (the actual buyer) to the winner.

In fact, there is no way to give someone a gun in another state without an FFL. If I raffle the gun off and the winner is in another state, it has to go through an FFL, which (I suspect) is why the raffles in which the winner is simply paid the MSRP of the gun is simply sent a check. That avoids the FFL problem.
