Actually, I think there are three levels of legal jeopardy for him. First, as I mentioned, an illegal transfer under California law. Second, the Federal charge for straw purchase. Finally, and this is the one I think they're going for, conspiracy to commit the murders. For the last one, I'm guessing they'll go to his social media and electronic communication.

My gut feeling is that this guy is a clueless putz who got in over his head. That doesn't mean that they won't try to put him away for a long time.
