Straw purchases are different. More apples to apples.

Look at it this way...

If you are driving your friends car and it gets stolen and the police recover it and they find a pound of heroin under the seat, you most likely would not be charged.

You sell your car to a guy and he runs over someone and kills them. You will in all probability not be charged.

You sell your home and later the sidewalk crumbles one day and someone trips, you are not liable.

Your gun was stolen and used in a hold up and murder, you are not responsible. However, the burden of proof would be on you to prove it was stolen.
