Let’s clear that up. Can any person buy a firearm online without a background check? No. This lie is often parroted by the gun control activists in Congress and online. Firearms purchased through federally licensed firearms dealers must include a background check, whether made online or in person. Plus, more than 75 percent of firearms sellers at gun shows are FFLs, meaning they are required by law to check the buyer's background. Many gun shows also require the remaining gun sellers to run background checks in order to participate. |

Can I buy a gun online with a credit card and no background check? Yep.
So, now I bought a gun online, and I own the gun, but a week purchase it's sitting harmlessly in an FFL's storage vault until such time as I do undergo a background check, so WaPo is complaining about a big bunch of nothing. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
