It gets really tiring watching people pretend like background checks don't exist. There is no brick-and-mortar store where you can walk in, pay and walk out with a gun 5 minutes later no questions asked.

And that's doubly so for online orders. Those have to get transferred to a local FFL who go through the background check when you pick it up

While this is true, it’s my understanding that those background check requirements are easily circumvented at gun shows in many states.

Any sale between private individuals is entirely off the record.

FFL dealers still have to run the check at gun shows.
