There are mountains of gun control laws in the USA. Saying the USA "has almost no gun control" is ridiculous.
Yet you can buy a semi-automatic firearm privately without a background check.
Yep that that will always be the case, regardless of what the law says. There is no way to enforce background checks on private sales without 24/7 video monitoring and analysis on every person, just like any other form of prohibition that doesn't work.
Except for all the times it absolutely works, which is why the pro-gun community can't buy landmines and RPGs.
