Make the purchaser liable for whatever damages or penalties the restricted person incurs. This shifts responsibility to the purchaser to make sure the firearm is not used irresponsibly. It also does not deny them the right to purchase a firearm if they are legally able to do so.

This is similar to a parent being responsible for what their child does.
