But some user comments suggest that sellers may be exploiting a loophole in federal law to traffic firearms—including talk of licensed dealers selling guns without conducting background checks, which in some circumstances would be illegal.

Ah no, in all cases would be against federal law

Not even going to say anything about the scary "ASSAULT RIFLE' language.

So they run an online newspaper ad that lists weapons for sale and states all federal and state laws need to be followed. The horror of that.
