"We're still learning the facts about what happened in Chattanooga, however, recent media reports indicate the gunman took advantage of the online gun sale loophole and purchased at least one of his firearms where he knew he could buy a gun with no background check, no questions asked."
Sadly, people will believe the lie that there's any "loophole" allowing you to avoid a background check by ORDERING from a firearms dealer advertising online. That FFL has to ship the firearm to a firearms dealer in your state who requires you to undergo the standard background check to receive the firearm. I don't know why Ms. Watts had to tell that lie here, but the fact she thought she could and that she had no more respect for the intelligence of readers to tell such a lie that is so easily fact checked would make anyone wonder about any specific information given.
"We're still learning the facts" is ironically true since the fact is that you may order a firearm from an FFL advertising online, but that firearm has to be shipped to an FFL in your state and that FFL will receive it and enter it into their ATF records like any firearm they'd receive from any other FFL, then take your money for the background check they're required to perform and only turn it over to you when you've been approved by background check. Just as if you had purchased that firearm at Walmart.
