Firearm dealers have to be federally-licensed, and the NICS check is mandantory in all states.
I don't think it's so easy to say you're someone else in this country. The main ID is a state driver's license, and any state can access driver license records of any other state. So you have to have the license of an actual person who's been licensed. Or, if you aren't licensed to drive some states issue an ID that looks like a driver's license but has the words, "NOT A LICENSE TO DRIVE" emblazoned across the top. You need other checkable ID like a certified birth certificate to get either one. Laminations are on the way out -- holographic plastic and magnetic strips are on the way in.
