ISIS To Recruits: Buying Guns In The U.S. Is Very Simple

.

The Islamic State militant group is encouraging recruits in the United States to take advantage of permissive American gun laws, according to a Washington Post report.

The latest edition of the ISIS propaganda magazine Rumiyah includes an article describing the ease with which guns can be purchased without background checks through private dealers.

“The acquisition of firearms can be very simple depending on one’s geographical location,” the article read. “In most U.S. states, anything from a single-shot shotgun all the way up to a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle can be purchased at showrooms or through online sales — by way of private dealers — with no background checks, and without requiring either an ID or a gun license.”

The Rumiyah article specifically touted gun shows where these unregulated sales are often easiest.




This should be placed in the category of "No Brainers," as I'm sure many Y'all Quaeda are doing it right now.

Sales between private citizens who reside in the same state are governed by the applicable state laws which may or may not require a background check on guns.

Sales crossing state lines, which includes internet sales, must be done by a holder of Federal Firearms License aka gun dealer.

Anything else is a crime

Also, there is no such thing as a private dealer.

Sure there is. A lot of people deal in guns without possessing a federal license (FFL). They're called "criminals."
