You can give guns as presents. They have to fill out the paperwork.

Or just hand them cash and they can grab it them selves.

There are certain caveats to that description.

If someone solicits you to purchase for them a firearm that you know they are likely ineligible to purchase, because: non-citizen, felon, adjudicated domestic violence, insane, communist, etc. Then if you go through with a purchase and transfer the firearm to them privately, you have become a "straw purchase". ..which is against the law.

Most people that don't know each other are usually a bit cautious with regards to the process of procuring firearms for strangers, because they know that their name is on the transaction when it comes from the vendors. Most popular cop shows we've seen has copious mention of "running the serial numbers". That simple BATFE search pings off the manufacturer for the lot number and delivery addresses, and so on, until the store it was sold is found (quick process). An agent then visits or contacts the store to see what they can get on the person who purchased. Form 4473 copy (BATFE should also have the particulars from the hand-entered data when that call was made at purchase), and possible surveillance footage of the purchaser. All this footwork and process is probably only necessary if somebody is going to jail. Or is dead. And not through gang violence.

It depends. She didn't say that she actually buys the gun and fills out the paperwork herself and then hands him the gun. She could be giving him a gift card so he can go buy it himself. It's also not against the law in most states to just give a firearm to a relative or a friend, that you know is NOT prohibited from owning a firearm, AND they live in the same state as you. Although some states do have a requirement that transfers, to anyone, even family, go through an FFL and background check. Now if you are transferring a firearm to someone in another state, you are required to do so through an FFL in all cases - although it's debatable whether or not very many people do this when giving firearms to relatives. Anyway, here is a good write-up on the topic:

There's no gun laws in GA or SC. You need to have a license to be a FFL which I think means to sell either a certain volume or gross total. But you can buy guns and give them away all you like, if you're making a profit there's a limit before you have to get a license. either way to announce it is to put yourself in the spotlight and likely get entrapped
