I don’t know much about guns and I believe every law abiding citizen that is in their right minds should be able to arm themselves, HOWEVER, I think there should be some sort of review on how weapons are sold online. And I think there is nothing wrong with crimminal checks and waiting periods so that crimminals and weirdos will be deterred.
“I think there should be some sort of review on how weapons are sold online”
Go here (gunbroker.com) and try to buy a firearm, see what you have to DO! You still need to go to a FFL and fill out a NICS form and get background checked, then you recieve the weapon you paid for. Don’t be misled by the lame msm.
Someone who buys a weapon online does go through the exact same background check process as a purchase from a dealer.
The online seller must ship the gun to a licensed dealer in the buyer’s state. The buyer goes to the dealer, fills out the paper work, goes through the instant background check and any required state regulations, and pays the transferring dealer a fee for conducting the transaction.
The media is rapidly turning online firearms sales into the next big, overblown half-truth gun myth. Soon we’ll see some reporter claim terrorists can buy guns online without any background check, followed in short order by politicians who are either idiots or using the media as cover for their own schemes screaming to close this ‘loophole.’
A good rule of thumb in any mainstream media report involving firearms is that something over half of what they report will be completely wrong and that significant facts will be missing.
