Why do they keep ignoring the folks who injure, maim and kill people with illegally held firearms? Why do they think that tightening the vice on owning a firearm legally, would put a dent in firearm fatalities? Why do they think anyone with ill intent would follow the law, or his EO in the first place?

...so... soon anyone that went to a doctor for depression at one point in their life will not be able to buy a gun. So basically 80% of the US population. At least, that's the slippery slope it looks like things will end up going down.
That's not good.

With the insanely limited ability to track (essentially post arrest confessions)...they already tracked 4 firearms used in crimes to that site...and there are other sites and instances of online guns purchased without background checks. I am reluctant to list all the sites where people can and do buy firearms absent background check and often anonymously for obvious reasons, but having spent some time looking into it...they are out there and criminals can and do buy weapons online.
You can't purchase any guns "on line " without an FFL involved, but you can make contacts through emails or phones and meet with buyers or sellers for a gun transaction. Here in Wi. you can use mwt.net and armslist to make contacts.
Correct. Craigslist doesn't sell anything either, it's just a clearing house for private transactions. In the case of guns, their are dedicated marketplaces that facilitate private guns transactions that are not subject to background checks...and no, you do not have to meet with the seller, you can have the guns shipped/mailed to you.

Otherwise known as COMMON FREAKING SENSE actions
About damn time
The vast majority of guns used in 15 recent mass shootings, including at least two of the guns used in the San Bernardino attack, were bought legally and with a federal background check.

Please name a few dedicated market places. There are no guns on craigslist, just go there and search guns. Show an example of how you can privately order a gun online and have it shipped...not buying it.

Adding massive taxes to gun sales also doesn't impede anyone's ability to own a gun, it just makes it more expensive, anyone that can afford one would still be able to buy one.

i cant think of any good reason why anyone would be against backround checks, and i'm suspicious of anyone who has a problem with the idea.

Let me introduce you to something called the deep web.
All you need is Tor, and some knowledge on putting extra layers of IP addresses. (But usually tor would suffice).
What is the deep web? It is basically the "unseen net", or the "Dark Net". The most disturbing things out of the entire net; you will find within the deep web. It is also through here, that the black market exists on the internet including illegal Gun sales. With enough "browsing around" you'll eventually run into them.
There is alot of criminal activity within the deep web.
But be warned, if you do enter it, I hope you have a strong stomach, and your emotions in check. Because if you are like me, you will instantly lose faith in humanity by visiting the deep web alone.
Point: Criminals will always find a way to get their guns, even on the internet.
You can buy all the gun parts you want..even machine gun part, that No FFL are required and can be shipped directly to your home...And any competent machinist can refit them to working order.
