an Internet Gun Dealer...I thought a Federally licensed gun dealer could only sell a gun to another federally licensed dealer if the gun was sold outside of the gun dealer’s home state...

Accessoriues are one thing, but gun sales are another...correct me if i am wrong on the dealer to dealer out of state transactions...Thanks...

They can sell it to an individual, but the transaction needs to go through a dealer in the buyer's state. If I'm buying a firearm over the internet, I buy it, make arrangements for a local dealer to receive it, seller ships it to local dealer, I go to the dealer, pay dealer a transaction fee, fill out the paperwork, go through NICS check, comply with my state's regulations, then pick up the firearm.

This process has been in place for years. Gun collectors and dealers have been advertising in print (Shotgun News for example) and conducting interstate transactions through dealers since well before the internet was available.
