[edit] Contraction?
Straw purchase is more than likely a contraction of "Straw Man" purchase. I guess I'd need some cites before fixing it.
- The reason I named the article "straw purchase" is because that is the standard term used by the BAFTE. --"DICK" CHENEY 00:59, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Etymology
Can anyone clarify etymology of the term? I tried to dig the Internet, googled here and there, but all the same -- to no avail. --195.225.129.10 07:13, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
This entry tells me nothing. can anyone please clarify the term?
[edit] ?
The article makes a false distinction that straw purchases require that they be done for someone who can not legally own a gun. According to Form 4471 and my understanding as an FFL, a straw purchase is any purchase done expressly on the behalf of someone else. It does not have to be done for someone who can't legally own a gun.
Before making the change, I want to make sure nobody objects.

[edit] Signs Section
The signs section should be deleted. First, it does not cite a single source, and qualifies as original research. More importantly, under WP:NOT, an official policy, it states that Wikipedia articles should not include instructions, advice (legal, medical, or otherwise) or suggestions, or contain "how-to"s I will delete this section if no one objects here.

The signs section has been updated with a reference in the external links section the ATF online learning theater.
