James Comey, Jr, the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, doesn’t know that every gun sold in the United States from a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), whether at a storefront, in a gun show, or “online,” can only be transferred after the purchaser fills out an ATF Form 4473 and has their information submitted for an FBI NICS background check.

This is why I get headaches.
