you and almost everyone you know, regardless of sanity or criminal history can buy a gun at a gun show. No questions asked. I've seen everything you've mentioned sold at gun stores and worse.

If you saw this in gun stores, did you call the ATF hotline? If not, why not?

Go to any booth and ask to buy a gun, if they require a check move to the next booth. YOU WILL find a booth or or person WHO WILL sell you a gun without a check. It happens every single day all across America

FFLs are required, non FFLs are not allowed even if they wanted to.

Private sales are not tracked, just the way the members here and the NRA want it. We all know guns are bought and sold at gun shows and used in crimes by criminals, it's the easiest source.

Don't blame us, blame the commerce clause, we are talking about intra-state private sales.
