    So try and ban 3D printing guns, because that’s too dangerous. But still sell guns at wallmarkt to be bought without background checks? I have the feeling something is a little off here…

        Because you can buy guns at Walmart, maybe not in California, but they sell guns in approximately half of their stores in the US.
        You can also go to gun shows and buy guns without a background check.
        But of course you’re correct, he was wrong, It’s not as easy as going to Walmart to get a gun without a background check. It’s actually MUCH EASIER than that in more than half the US. You can just go online and pay for someone to send you a gun without any background check, site unseen, from the comfort of your own home.

          I’m not sure how buying a gun at a gun show sans background check is easier than if Walmart didn’t require a background check, but regardless, the premise of their statement (that Walmart doesn’t require background checks) is factually incorrect. You’re moving the goalpost. And no, you can’t just pay for a gun online and have it shipped to you. That’s not how that works, not legally at least.
