There are several federal gun laws. If you walk into my store and tell me that you want to buy a gun so that you can kill Mr. X, and I sell it to you, I can go to prison. That is federal law. If I am a store owner selling guns, I have to make you swear that you are not a felon when you buy a gun. If you are, you have committed Perjury and can go to jail. The weakness comes since you are not a licensed gun dealer. If you then sell the gun to a felon, there is no requirement for you to make the guy swear to anything.
