The blood has been flowing for quite some time. I am pro-gun but they should not available over the Internet or without background checks. I had to go through far more nonsense to rent an apt then to buy a gun.

They aren't.

What you say is just not the truth. Any commercially purchased firearm must be sold with an FFL form 4473 filled out and NCIC and FBI do background checks on every sale. Sales of firearms between individuals is the sale of private property and should remain between the buyer and seller.

There are NO Internet sales of firearms to individuals. One must have an FFL holder act as the shipper for the seller to ship the firearm to the buyer and they must also send the weapon to another Federally Licensed Firearms dealer... who then fills out an FFL form 4473 and has the background check run on the purchaser before any weapon is delivered..

You might have used that apartment for a meth lab, or a brothel with underage sex slaves, or to publish and disseminate seditious literature promoting small government and individual liberties...

The last time I purchased a rifle via the internet, I had to go to a local FFL and get him to send a signed certification to the FFL in another state who was selling the rifle to me. I then had to send a money order to the FFL and wait for the rifle to be shipped to my local FFL. Upon arrival, I had to fill out the standard Form 4473 in person, pay a transfer fee and have my CCW number recorded on the back of the form 4473 before taking possession of the rifle. The controls were no different from any other over the counter firearm purchase. I rather doubt you had to spend a week and a half jumping through hoops to rent your apartment.
