It’s hard to imagine a law in the U.S. that actually prevents these people from getting a hold of firearms if they really want them. Banning Internet sales could be helpful.

But I have a hard time seeing most of these guys getting to a point where they actually have there gun rights stripped. I mean, theoretically they are passing background checks now…

You can only buy guns online if you have a federal firearms dealers license, you can buy ammo, clips, and accessories online but not actually guns. Some sellers will ship to a local licensed dealer for you so that you can pick it up from them, but of course that involves paying them a handling fee. Federal law still requires the local dealer to see/copy your ID and run a background check plus comply with any waiting period as required by state law.
