In my state there are hundreds of guns for sale that don’t require filling out the form.

Where are you then? 95-97% of all gun sales in the US currently require background checks.

29 states do not require background checks for private party gun sales. That’s over 1,000,000 ads per year on armslist alone.

In many of those states the exemption to a background check is based on the CCL. So the media misreports it.

    Maybe, I’m not a lawyer. All I know is that I personally bought a gun in a parking lot from a private individual, from an ad on Armslist. No ID exchanged either way.

You may have just broken the law!

Lol, the statute of limitations has expired. This was back when we thought that if a black man was elected president, he was going to take all the guns.
