It is a federal crime to lie on a FFL background check. In 2010, 80,000 background checks were found to be fraudulent. The federal government prosecuted 44 of those. Mother Jones also claims that 40% of gun sales are private and don't require a background check. The study that produced that number found that the majority of that 40% were within a family or between friends.
