I believe the ATF would use even stronger language.

Not to try to stick my nose in but you can't buy a gun for someone who is prohibited from buying one on their own i.e. convicted felon, convicted of domestic assault, involuntarily committed to psych hospital, drug addict, dishonorable military discharge, etc. Doing that is where the term "straw purchase" came from and has been media-ized. You can purchase one for someone else as a gift if they are not disqualified. Just fyi. Again, wasn't trying to be rude.
