Background for long guns?

Am i missing something? Do you have to have a background check to buy a long gun? Can you buy a long gun online without the FFL transfer? Is there a difference for "short" long guns? If i DO buy one online...do I pay tax?

I know I know....tooooooooo many questions...but...i am obviously confused...

Seems that everywhere i check, i'm reading that to buy one online you have to transfer to ffl and have a background check....I didnt think you had to do this in tennessee....

Ya do. Sorry. Try going to Wal-Mart and buying one without a background check.

You do.

I think there may be acceptions for buying long guns face to face in surrounding states from dealers, but I have never done.

Not in the last 11 years...that's when I got my first 20ga. I remember my grandfather filling out the paperwork.

I believe muzzle loaders can be bought without doing a 4473, but I'm not positive on that.

No.

If you buy one online,it must go through an FFL.
If you buy one from an individual,it may be shipped directly,but good luck on getting UPS to do that.

On tax,yes tax is supposed to be paid just like with anyother online purchase.
If it goes to an FFL,no,they can not charge you tax as their just the middle man,and you're not buying it from them.

Nope. It's part of the 1994 Brady Bill.

You shouldn't have to pay tax if your purchasing it from out of state. Only if you buy something from a store/retail outlet or whatever that is in the same state as your receiving address. I have bought thousands of items online and have NEVER paid tax for them.

UPS info....http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/res.../firearms.html

Read them carefully. It would appear at first that it would be ok to send people firearms but it seems it contradicts certain ATF laws. Even when "gifting" the said firearm. Mind boggling sort of.
