You did not read my comment thoroughly now did you?  It was given to me as a gift.  You can gift a gun to an immediate family member without a background check.  Check it out!  I did. So in other words, a father can legally buy his son, who does not have an ID, a gun or in my case, a husband can buy a gun and gift it to his wife.  So having a valid ID is not required to own a gun.
