Typically, you have to have a pistol shipped from a legitimate selling
dealer to a dealer with a federal firearms license in your area, from
whom you can pick it up. The local dealer might charge from $20 to $40
for the privilege. I've done this a few times...it's not complicated.


Why don't you tell this to your gun control liars. They are trying to
spin it that buying a gun on the internet is like getting a case of
Charmin from Amazon Prime. They would have you believe you get it in
the mail the next day.



Obviously you missed the phrase "legitimate selling dealer to a dealer
with a federal firearms license". There are other, non-legitimate ways
to buy and sell firearms, eh?

Point us to one of your 'non-legitimate' (is that the same as 'illegitimate')internet sellers. Or is that just more Krauseheiße?



Harry didn't limit purchases to the Internet. He said, "There are
other, non-legitimate ways to buy and sell firearms." Good example was
the hotly debated (here) CNN documentary whereby firearms were purchased
without even being asked for identification, let alone a background check.




Don't skip the part where EVERY ONE OF THOSE purchases was a federal
and state felony.
You might as well say we need a law against murder.

Not sure about them being a federal felony. Were the sellers officially
"dealers"? As I understand current federal laws, if
they are not dealers, a background check is not required. Correct me
if I am wrong please.

My understanding of his executive action is that *all* transactions
will require a background check, FFL dealer or casual seller.

As for the state laws, yes, I think I recall it mentioned that the
seller was supposed to verify the buyer's address to make sure he
was not from out of state. Only one of the sellers did so, IIRC.

GCA 68 forbids purchase out of state and all of these purchases were
outside of Georgia where the CNN people live. (private or FFL sale)
Taking those illegally purchased guns across a state line is another
felony, each time.
I posted the statute numbers the last time we had this discussion.

So much for your other note about a rare casual sale.

Most states mirror the federal law. Yours actually goes far beyond but
you know that

That was the second felony. Buying a gun in a state you are not a
resident of was the first one. The seller could be accused of not
doing his due diligence in finding out where the buyer lived but the
buyer knew he was not in his home state. Even attempting to buy the
gun and being turned down is a crime.

I doubt any individual has ever been prosecuted under this law unless
it was part of a larger interstate trafficking investigation. These
guys are looking for a table full (or a garage full) of guns that will
make the NBC nightly news, not one guy selling one gun ... no matter
how many times he does it.

I just asked Wayne a question that I'll repeat here. If those gun show
sellers were required to do a background check on the buyer, how many of
those sales would have happened? Executing the sale would also make
the seller criminally negligent, wouldn't it?

I have yet to go to a gun show where background checks were not performed on the spot
by the dealers selling guns. And, I've been to a bunch of gun shows.

Individuals selling a gun out of their trunk (the loophole?) couldn't do a background
check if they wanted to. Remember, Greg (another who says nothing can be done?)
suggested a while back to allow anyone to run the background check program. Why not?
But right now it's not possible.

Kinda stupid, huh?

I ask again, if that is your goal, why not just open up the background
check to private citizens? Is that too easy?

I don't have a problem with that. It has to be a double edged though,
meaning someone who sells or transfers a gun to someone else without
doing the background check ... or transfers the gun even though the
background check found the buyer to be not eligible, the seller has some
culpability should the gun end up being used in a crime. It will
require a data base and registry of owners, something that few people
with guns are willing to accept.

Ok. Then let me ask this: If the sellers of those guns at the gun
shows had been required to do a background check on the buyer (making
them liable as well for breaking federal law) how many of them would
have made the transaction without even asking for identification?
