An illegal firearm purchase (straw purchase) is a federal crime.

True
False
Only in certain states
Only if the firearm is resold

The correct answer is: True

An illegal firearm purchase, also known as a straw purchase, is considered to be a federal crime. It is illegal to buy a firearm for someone else who is not legally allowed to purchase one themselves. This is a serious offense and punishable under federal law. The other options are incorrect because no matter the state or whether the firearm is resold, the act of making a straw purchase is still considered a federal crime.
