You can, by federal law and in some states, go to a gun show and legally buy a gun from a private seller without submitting to a background check.
You can also legally acquire a gun without submitting to a background check if it's a gift from a family member.
So, yeah, there are politicians who continue to support the NRA in leaving the door open for legal acquisition of guns without background checks.
I don't understand where you're coming from when you keep insisting that you can't legally buy a gun anywhere without submitting to a background check.
What BBH was originally referring to was the Texas open carry law that was just passed. She's been stating over and over that someone can buy a gun and carry it without a background check or a permit in Texas. That is a false statement she keeps repeating.
I got carried away with my typing because we were heading out to a movie... but you're correct, the private transaction or family gifting can occur without the federal check.
Sorry for the error.
