...strawman buyer is almost never prosecuted. He says a typical situation is a convicted felon has his girl friend buy the gun...it would be very hard to prosecute a strawman if there is no paper trail. The girl friend could simply say she later sold it to her boy friend, or he took it without asking...

I have no idea what percentage of various variations on such transactions might be prosecuted, but some time back in reaching case law I came upon a fair number of cases involving that sort of conduct.
So it looks like at least some such cases do get prosecuted.
