Blatant lie.
ALL gun dealers have been required to run background checks all along.
Not correct.
First, there is no federal requirement for a background check. Only some States, the SDTC, the SOTCO, and the SOTNY require them. Such checks to purchase a firearm is unconstitutional, violating the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 14th amendments.
The current regions require background checks to purchase a firearm:
WA, OR, NV, NM, MN, IL, MI, PA, VA, NJ, MD, VT, RI, CT, DE, MA, the SDTC, the SOTCO, the SOTHI, and the SOTNY.
The FBI usually is contracted to conduct these checks.
