Thanks for the great replies. The quote from BATFE sealed it for me - it's ok to purchase a gun with the intent of giving it away as a gift as long as the person to whom I'm giving it can legally possess it.

I know buying a gun FOR someone else is a straw purchase and is illegal, but what about buying a gun with the intention of giving it to someone else as a gift? Anyone know the legalities of that? How would that be any different from a straw purchase?
