This is such a fucking load of shit. I wish somebody in the media would have the balls to call shit like this out. Buying a gun on line actually requires two background checks. At least in North Dakota. And I'd bet it's the same all around the country.
For example, if I want to buy a gun on line from Scheels, I place my order and provide my information. Also, naming the nearest FFL I'd like the gun sent to. As it's AGAINST THE LAW TO MAIL A FIREARM DIRECTLY. The selling party will run a background check, and if everything checks out, will then finalize the purchase and send the gun to the FFL nearest to you. Once they receive the firearm, they will also run a background check on the person that bought it before they can release it to them. AS REQUIRED BY LAW. So yeah, two fucking background checks to buy a gun on line.
They must know the truth, but continue to spew out blatant lies while being unchecked. To brainwash and sway the simple minded.
