If someone lies on an application to get a gun and are found out, is there any sort of "punishment" or are they just allowed to walk away scott-free and look for a gun somewhere else?
It has been a Federal Felony since the Brady Bill went into effect a long time ago. Thousands of people violate that law every year. To my knowledge NOT ONE has been prosecuted.

As the population increases so does the number of incidents, even if the %age goes down. Back when everyone that could afford it, owned a gun, it wasn't news. With an increase in the population that does not own a gun a market for the news was created.
