only if you want to use the proper term.

Actually, that is not the name of the crime. The crime has no "shorthand" name. The particular crime that Aguila Blanca has referred is properly called simply a violation of 18 USC 922(d), or a conspiracy to violate 18 USC 922(g), or perhaps a violation of 18 USC 922(h), depending on the exact circumstances. When charges are filed, the perpetrator will not be charged with a "straw purchase." He or she will be charged with "doing .....[description of acts]....in violation of [one or more cited statutes]."
