If you buy over the Internet, the gun needs to be sent to a FL dealer. You can't send them through the mail otherwise. He does a background check. When my dad gave one of his guns to TD, even though it was not purchased, it had to be sent to this intermediary and he couldn't release it without a background check....or checking TD's CWP status. Why the hell Florida? Wait, it is FFL - Federal Firearms License dealer. Whoops....my bad. My iPad doesn't always catch the first letter of a word. FFL is correct.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

www.jsonline.com/watchdog/watchdogreports/officers-lawsuit-against-gun-store-poised-for-3-week-trial-b99430463z1-289366911.htmlTop crime gun sellers:
Badger Guns and Badger Outdoors were top sellers of crime guns recovered by Milwaukee police for more than a decade. In 2005, Badger Outdoors was the top seller of crime guns in the nation with 537 such weapons recovered. In other years, data shows, the store was among the largest sellers of crime guns. Such data has not been released recently because of a secrecy measure passed by Congress.
In 2006, investigators with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives recommended revoking Badger Outdoors' license. There was no revocation, and the store remained open, operating as Badger Guns.
Federal records show the license recommended for revocation was relinquished voluntarily. The players then took on new roles and a new license was issued to Adam Allan, the son of former owner Walter Allan, creating what one federal official called a "clean slate," a Journal Sentinel investigation found.
Mick Beatovic, also a former owner of Badger Outdoors, has said he knew nothing about the recommended revocation, and he already had decided to turn in the license and retire.
The ATF revoked Adam Allan's license for Badger Guns in 2011. Adam Allan's brother, Michael Allan, then opened Brew City Shooters Supply in 2012, promising to be more selective in his gun sales.*-*-*--*- Geneva IL to West Allis/West Milwaukee = 112 miles, an approximately 2 hr. 7 minute trip via Google Maps.

Although accurate, your statement would lead some people to the commonly held belief (which is incorrect). While you can "buy guns over the internet" what that really means is that either 1. you are just using the internet (like you would use the want ads in the newspaper) to find another PRIVATE seller in YOUR STATE that has a gun for sale. You CAN NOT pay them and have it shipped across state lines. 2. finding a private seller out of state, and then you and the seller use Licensed Federal Firearm Licensees to do a legal (and recorded/background checked) transfer to your state. So, for example, I you live in MS and I live in WA, you would take it to your local, licensed gun dealer, who would ship to to a WA licensed gun dealer. When I go to pick it up, my WA dealer will run a background check on me. It's not all as wild west and free and open as most gun control proponents think. It means just that- buyers find sellers on the internet that live close. I wasn't saying you could order them from Amazon. Or go to a gun show and buy one in the parking lot. Doesn't get much easier than that if you can't pass a background check and need a gun. And really- why the hell not a firearms registry.
