Isaac, no Sir. This is against Federal law. You could purchase her a Buds Gift Card in the purchase amount and let her register an account and purchase in her own name. cheers and stay safe!

Randy I. · Answer

the problem is it looks like a straw purchase the best way is to get Buds gift cards and give them to her so she can buy it . " Buying a new gun as a gift can raise legal issues about who the actual buyer of the firearm is -- a question that must be certified on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Federal Form 4473 at the time of purchase. To avoid the ownership issue altogether, the ATF recommends purchasing a gift certificate from the gun retailer rather than the gun itself, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation." https://blogs.findlaw.com/law_and_life/2013/12/legal-how-to-giving-a-gun-as-a-gift.html
