A straw buyer is someone who buys a firearm for a person prohibited from having one. In numerous reported cases, a convicted felon or other prohibited person, has walked into a gun shop, picked out a gun, placed cash on the counter, and had their companion recorded as the legal purchaser of the gun. Gun dealers are required by law to prohibit such transactions.
