I think there are a lot of  half truths and rumors that circulate about gun buying and background checks.  Private person to person gun transfers and sales do take place.  I have no doubt that they will still happen after the E.O. takes effect.  It will remain true that anyone, even a felon, who wants a gun will still be able to get a gun - and it will be illegal, but there are many things that are illegal that still happen every day.  But as it stands, if you buy a gun via a website, like Gun Broker, even though it is a private sale, it still has to be handled by a licensed dealer; however, if you hear that Joe up the street has a gun he wants to sell and you want to buy it and you meet somewhere and do the transaction, right now you can do so without transferring it through the FFL process.

One thing I have been appalled about since Obama took office is the way his staff and advisors don't catch these untruths.  There have been an incredible number of things he has said and done that should have been caught by his staff, before he steps in it.
