"Shilling" works once as a rule and for one gun at a time. Multi Purchases ring alarm bells across the all system. Shilling works best when you Have the ATF telling people to sell you the gun. The actual term though is "Straw Purchase" The most famous "Straw Purchaser" Is Sarah Brady, who lied on a 4473 form to buy bolt action rifle for a family member. Interestingly enough it was a Scoped bolt action center-fire rifle that the Brady campaign described as " Sinister High Powered Snipers rifle"
