    Background checks, social media checks? No thanks. I'll use the gun show loophole instead.

      Naah, just say weird ominous things about the government trying to make everyone gay and steal their precious bodily fluids PRAISE MAN JEEBUS. Might even get a discount if you're concerned about religious freedumbs, and how life is sacred, and that's why you need a murder weapon, because of those military aged males surging the border and performing satanic rituals PRAISE MAN JEEBUS. Throw in something about being SAVED. And the white pony jihad. If you post "thou shalt not kill" in front of courthouses, it gives magic pony buffs PRAISE MAN JEEBUS.
