You can find information you're looking for in this website--

Background checks are easy, convenient,
and impose almost no burden on law-abiding gun purchasers.
In at least 90% of cases, firearm background checks processed through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) are determined immediately—in most instances within 90 seconds. <fn ref 13>
If your daughter is presently-free from very-severe mental illness, and has no other major-offending criminal past, then this shouldn't at all be a private worry to you.
The FBI and other Agencies realize that "honest Americans" can unknowingly sell private weapons to people who are criminals.
Quote--
Gun offenders overwhelmingly obtain their guns through private sales.
About 80% of all firearms acquired for criminal purposes are obtained through private-party transfers.[8]
In fact, a survey of prisoners convicted of gun offenses revealed that 96% of inmates {who were prohibited from possessing a firearm at the time they committed their crime} had obtained their firearm from an unlicensed private seller.[9]
Other studies identify 'unlicensed private sellers'
as major contributors to illegal firearm trafficking within the United States
and
across the US-Mexico border.[10]

Since you DO care about the 'life' of your daughter and her security and safety?, it would also then be really-wise to gift her with Gun Safety 'lessons and training'--
extra qualifications on HOW to use a weapon, and be well-practiced and comfortable using it?
If you go to a weapons-training place near you, and sign her up for lessons, I would logically think that they would know 'how' you-and-she can do a legal-transfer for a (free) weapon between the two of you, and have HER legally-licensed as the proud 'owner' of said-gun.
It would also "protect HER" in case the gun was ever stolen.
She could immediately report the registered-weapon as "missing"-- If it's traced to a 'crime' then, she would have an alibi?, and it would actually help law-enforcement with 'clues' on finding the perpetrator, by narrowing down the field of information for them.
If she's planning to become a school-teacher, then, it would be an added-value to her CV/qualifications? {Bring her more money?? }}
She could add more value to society {saving lives potentially} by being a "balanced-individual" with excellent proficiencies at using her weapon of choice.
