Original Note:
Almost half of the guns sold in the US are without a background check. Retailers (federal firearms licensed dealers) must run a basic background check (99+% accurate). Unlicensed sellers are exempt. Not all states require a background check before someone sells a gun. https://www.cnn.com/factsfirst/politics/factcheck_f796da68-6af7-4a38-9623-29e1a8eee1e6 https://www.jhsph.edu/research/centers-and-institutes/johns-hopkins-center-for-gun-violence-prevention-and-policy/_docs/jhu-gun-policy-infographic-061119.pdf https://giffords.org/lawcenter/gun-laws/policy-areas/background-checks/universal-background-checks/ https://www.criminalwatchdog.com/faq/background-checks-for-guns
