check. Run your ad, find a local yahoo looking for a gun fix, take a fistful of cash, no background check - all legal. Of course, gun fanciers make it sound so harmless. Laws need to be changed requiring BG check by FFL, no matter how loudly callous gun fanciers whine and say they are the only thing between us and tyranny.
