As you stated, you CANNOT buy a firearm from a legit FFL, without the checks. If an FFL sells you a gun without one, then there are laws already on the books that deal with that.

And of course, only a licensed FFL can legally make a "commercial" sale.

So there is definately some sort of Obama style Double-Speak involved here.

They will probably have to "pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy".

On a quick glance, it appears that the ‘Rats just wanted to pass ANYTHING as a face-saving measure. Even something rather marginal and meaningless.

“See, we tightened up background checks!”
