I don’t buy it.

Does not fit the whole machismo street culture of these gang-bangers to ask their squeeze to obtain a gun for them.

My guess is the author is a limousine liberal. Perhaps she is just a man-hater. Anyway, I mentioned this once before on FR but I was in Boston a few months ago and on public transportation heard a black female shout the N-word many times into her cell phone and how she was going to F up someone if she came into “my hood.” This was around all types of riders on the system. People such as this author are likely opposed to “Domestic violence against women” which means they are in favor of domestic violence against men, are limited to think it doesn't exist, or the word kind who think the man must have done something and the woman (or male on male) defended herself.

In past "raids" of FFL holders' businesses, BATF has gone fishing in the 4473 forms for the names of known female associates of local male felons. Found some, too - and then pulled the women in, threatened them with prosecution and coerced them to testify against the gun dealer, with regard to the straw purchases. So overall, this stuff does occur.

Also, in a specific example from a few years ago, there was a shooting incident where police officers pursued a 'hood rat into his girlfriend's apartment. Once there, he retrieved an SKS rifle that he had hidden there and shot at the cops. Might've killed one or two, I can't remember all the details. There was talk of charging the girlfriend for her role in the incident, but I don't know if that occurred.

It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, it's still going to happen. There are only two main sources for guns for felons: stolen guns, and guns bought through "straw purchases", mostly by women. Being caught with a stolen gun carries more jail time, so the preference is to have your woman buy it.

A felon being caught with any gun carries jail time, so there's an incentive to have the woman carry it in her purse.
