Mom/Dad could buy a long gun for their son/daughter HOWEVER thats a straw purchase, isn't it technically?
Giving a legitimate gift is never a straw purchase. You are still able to gift a hand or long gun to people under 21 in Florida. If you're under 18, there are certain restrictions on how you can possess one, though:
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/ind ... 90.22.html
"(3) A minor under 18 years of age may not possess a firearm, other than an unloaded firearm at his or her home, unless:
(a) The minor is engaged in a lawful hunting activity and is:
1. At least 16 years of age; or
2. Under 16 years of age and supervised by an adult.
(b) The minor is engaged in a lawful marksmanship competition or practice or other lawful recreational shooting activity and is:
1. At least 16 years of age; or
2. Under 16 years of age and supervised by an adult who is acting with the consent of the minor’s parent or guardian.
(c) The firearm is unloaded and is being transported by the minor directly to or from an event authorized in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b)."
