I'm pretty sure that you need an ID in order to buy a gun.

Here in Florida they run a background check if you want to get any kind of gun. Depending on the gun you have a 3 day wait period. Handguns have a 3 day wait period. Rifles and shotguns do not but they will do a background check regardless.
No one said that you have the right to buy one. You have the right to OWN a gun. You have the right to vote.
That doesn't make sense. Does that mean it's okay if we just throw away the votes of people who don't have ids? After all, they have a right to vote but not to have that vote count.
Not at gun shows or other common purchasing avenues.
If the seller is in the business of dealing with firearms, they do as a matter of federal law.
