    You’re thinking of in-person private sales. You can buy a gun from another person directly without a check (in some states). This still carries some risks as you’d have to prove this transaction if the gun turns up in a crime and you get pointed at in one way one or another.

    Gun dealers carry a massive risk for skipping the check and anyone who needs to skip a check to buy a gun is going to know they won’t be approved, and they both get the axe if either party gets caught - So its a lose-lose deal that will rarely get taken.
