This answer applies only in the US- other countries have other laws:

Yes, you may purchase a firearm on line, without having a "gun license". HOWEVER- when a firearm is transferred across a state line, then that firearm must be received by a holder of a Federal Firearms License in your state. Translation- I have a firearm for sale, and you want to buy it. You send me payment, and a copy of the FFL from a dealer in your home state. I verify this is a valid license, and ship to that dealer. You go to the dealer, and complete the same paperwork you would complete if you were buying from that dealer. Dealer conducts a background check, complies with state laws for your state (as far as legal guns for your state, state license requirements, waiting periods, etc) When all of that is complete, you can pick up your gun.

internet purchases must comply with the same laws that a live face-to-face purchase will require. Unfortunately, some members of the news media have fostered the idea that a 12 year old can by a machine gun on the internet- and that is simply not true
