Properly called a "straw man purchase". This is where person A buys a gun for person B. Person A, who completes the paperwork, has background check, etc, is not the actual purchaser of the weapon. They are a "straw man"- a fake.
In most of the US, it is legal to buy a gun as a bonafide gift to another- but not to use another's money to buy a gun for them. Example- Using my money, I buy a gun as a Christmas present for my son, who is legally able to own a gun. That is legal, and not a straw man sale. My neighbor asks if I will get a gun for him. He gives me $300, I go buy a gun, and take it to him. THAT is a strawman sale, and illegal- even if my neighbor could have legally bought the gun himself.

Through the use of artificial insemination. A straw of semen that was collected from a bull and frozen in a semen tank is inserted into the cow's vagina and into the cervix by a AI gun that holds the semen straw. One hand has to be inside the cow's anus to hold the cervix so the straw can go through, and the other hand has to be manipulating the straw into the uterus of the cow. Once the straw is in a little ways into the uterine cavity, the semen is deposited and the gun with drawn and the empty straw discarded.
