The case with the check is AbramskiThe whole thing is about your intent when you buy it. That's why there are so few prosecutions, it's hard to prove intent when you can change your mind literally right after buying it. As you walk to the door of the gun shop you realise you should not have spent that money, so you decide to sell it. You intended to keep it when you bought it, but you changed your mind.
I'm not good at remembering case names, but the two I recall were one where the buyer actually took a check from the person he was buying for before buying the gun and the memo was something like for gun. The other was a guy who basically told everyone who would listen that the gun wasn't for himself, including the dealer, just plain stupid.
