From the article:
"The bill makes it optional for Iowans to obtain handgun carry permits and go through background checks when purchasing firearms through unlicensed sales, including websites and gun shows, The Associated Press reported."
So if a website, any website,  advertises an upcoming gun show and a viewer reads it and contacts the website for more information, including guns for sale, and the website responds with an inventory available for "pre-sales" and the reader purchases a handgun, it's legal now in Iowa to do so...

Given the manner in which you express yourself, it's no wonder that nobody on the forum thinks you're a mental titan. That said, I'll explain for you in terms even you can understand. The law was JUST signed by the governor of Iowa on Friday so of course there are no unlicensed dealers that have taken advantage of it YET. But, as has already been explained in my previous postings as well as in the link to the article itself, the law allows for it to happen and, of course, it will. Now, are going to continue to demonstrate ignorance and stupidity or do you finally get it?  
"A dangerous gap in our federal gun laws lets people buy guns without passing a background check. Under current law, unlicensed sellers—people who sell guns online, at gun shows, or anywhere else without a federal dealer’s license—can transfer firearms without having to run any background check whatsoever."
https://giffords.org/lawcenter/gun-laws/policy-areas/background-checks/universal-background-checks/
And: "The rise of online gun sites like Armslist.com has increased the danger posed by a long-standing loophole in federal law that exempts unlicensed gun sellers from the requirement to conduct a background check of a prospective gun buyer. Guns purchased on Armslist have ended up in the hands of convicted felons, domestic abusers, gang members, and gun traffickers—at times, resulting in deadly consequences."

Once again, show me an unlicensed DEALER on the internet.....or are you modifying your initial hysterics?

I take it you have forgotten I dont read the links you post since 98% are just more misleading drivel intended to support an agenda. 

"I take it you have forgotten I dont read the links you post since 98% are just more misleading drivel intended to support an agenda."
That's why you don't read or comprehend that unlicensed dealers are common, like those listed in the CNN article?
So armslist.com is simply a collector's collective cache?

Yes many individuals who are not gun dealers advertise their guns for sale on armslist and other places just like many advertise used refrigerators on FB. Essentially no different than me selling a rifle to my neighbor down the street. No dealers involved. Some will ship direct others only to a dealer where before you can pickup they run a check on you. I personally dont buy used guns that I cant hold in my hands before I buy them nor will many others. 

From  CCN article,  from what the following  states, it seems like "unlicensed dealers" are selling to individuals as described: "Because unlicensed dealers typically do not document their sales, Chittum said, it is impossible to quantify how many guns pass through their hands each year. Whatever the number is, he said, "it's not small."
The ATF routinely warns suspected unlicensed dealers that they may be breaking the law. They do so by sending out so-called "cease and desist" letters instructing recipients to stop selling guns until they've obtained a federal firearms license." "They obtain their stock of weapons from licensed sellers who properly conduct background checks prior to the purchase. The unlicensed dealers then re-sell the guns at a profit without performing any background check or filling out the required paperwork documenting the sale, agents say."
In another case, a  licensed dealer let his license lapse and continued to sell guns to individuals and not other licensed dealers...   

"NRA's LaPierre sought refuge on yacht after shootings: 'Thank God I'm safe'
During her opening remarks this week, Assistant Attorney General Monica Connell said LaPierre’s use of the boat was a clear conflict of interest and infraction of regulations regarding the NRA’s nonprofit status, The Seattle Times reported."
"LaPierre said his first stay on the boat, which was equipped with “two or three or four staff people,” a cook and two jet-skis, was the summer after the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. He added that his last stay was “sometime in 2018 after the Parkland shooting in the summer.”
"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good friend with a yacht?" she asked.

Photos on his computer show him using drugs. Will they put Hunter in jail? This is more ammo for people against Chipman as head of ATF.

Sounds like either you misinterpreted what you heard (no surprises there) or it's bullshit. Either way, it's still bullshit...

Lol! You made BS claims about Chipman and you tell me to go find a link! It's up to you to do so. Duh!
