“There are girls who hide gang guns for their boyfriends.”

Gang members also have their girlfriends (the ones with no criminal records) buy guns for them. This points out the futility of the whole "background check" process. If a guy's too dangerous to be allowed to buy a gun, then he shouldn't be loose on the street in the first place.

A guy I know had to do just this... Right out of the military, he got into a fight and wound up with a felonious assault on his record. That was more than 30 years ago. His wife owns a couple of shotguns for home protection.
