Last I heard he loaned the rifle to Kyle.

Which is irrelevant, because Kyle did nothing wrong.

The complaint says Black told authorities that over the summer he received money for the Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle from Rittenhouse, his friend, who was too young to have legally purchased the weapon himself.

My question then is:

Does the money alone make it a straw purchase, in light of the fact the weapon was only loaned to Rittenhouse?

Last I checked its not illegal to let a teenager use a rifle.
