No, You Can’t Buy a Gun ‘Over the Internet With No Background Check’
More lies.
Barack Obama’s outlandish lies never cease to amaze. Here’s the most dubious claim he made during today’s speech announcing additional gun control:
“A violent felon can buy the exact same weapon over the internet with no background check, no questions asked.” —@POTUS #StopGunViolence

Add that to Obama’s monumental list of BIG lies. Federal law requires that firearms purchased over the Internet be shipped to a Federal Firearms License dealer, where the prospective buyer must then submit to a background check before completion of the transaction. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
And yet just a few moments later he had the audacity to accuse the gun lobby of, well, lying:
“All of us need to demand a Congress brave enough to stand up to the gun lobby’s lies.” —@POTUS #StopGunViolence

In November, Obama accused Republicans of “playing on fear to score political points or to advance their campaigns,” which he called “irresponsible.” Good thing he’d never do that.
