40 Percent of purchased guns have NO BACKGROUND CHECKS!! That is 6 million guns per year sold without background checks.

I found this article interesting:  From FOX   A guest says: No Background Checks at all!!  I think this is a crazy idea.

Under current federal law, licensed federal firearms dealers conduct background checks on gun purchasers to prevent dangerous individuals such as violent criminals or the mentally ill from obtaining weapons. Gun transfers, “private sellers” or transactions at gun shows or online are exempt from the requirement and as a result more than 6 million gun transfers are unscreened.
