4. No. The trust or corporation has to be set up in somebody's name.

All NFA items, regardless of how they're obtained (i.e. individually or through a corp/trust) must still be registered with the ATF and be demonstrably securely stored. In the case of items purchased by a trust, IIRC the trust is listed as the owner on the paperwork; the trust is set up in somebody's name, who is going to have some 'splainin to do if the weapons are misused or misplaced. I'm not offering any opinion on the "rightness" of allowing non-person-legal-entities to acquire NFA firearms without a check (IMO it is foolish and should be straightened out somehow), just pointing out that there's still names attached to the guns in question.
