re: "You can go online and buy a gun without a background check"

FWIW, there is no federal law (that I have found yet) preventing the shipment of a firearm to a private address (non-FFL) within the same state. From everything I've read, you could technically list a gun online, sell it to a buyer that resides in the same state, and then ship it to them.

From ATF.gov:

quote:

---

A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm or ammunition, prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm and requires obtaining written acknowledgement of receipt.

If you could link something contradicting that please do. I could've missed it.
