If you buy it from a gun store then always, the federal law requires all gun stores to have back ground checks. If you buy it from a private person like from an add or a small yard sell or something were it is a person selling a gun and not a business then it depends on state law. Some states require people who want to sell there guns to give a background check to people purchasing it.

How many guns are sold online annually?

Actually, very few. Although a gun can be SOLD on line, if it is crossing a state line to get to the new owner, the gun MUST be shipped to a dealer in that person's state. The dealer does the same paperwork and background checks as if you were buying the gun from him. But some people would have you believe you can buy a gun on-line and have it shipped to your house.
