There is a huge difference from having to deal with a police office pointing a gun at you and a criminal on a shadowy street -- totally different situation I have been there in both.

As to internet firearm sales; you have to take delivery of the firearm from an ATF licensed gun dealer -- read the fine print on a the gun selling website. ATF licensed gun dealers are required to make background checks before transferring a weapon -- that is a condition of their continued licensure. Guns cannot be sent (delivered) to unlicensed buyers by the USPS, UPS, Fedex, etc.http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/lice...-business.html only licensed dealers can receive firearms shipments from other licensed dealers. It is just a competitive selling situation.

"you also make an interesting point about all this gun attention being used as a diversion to keep people busy while the government robs them yet again." that is how I see it. The recent school killings are a nightmare and I can understand that but in the overall picture they should be put into a logical perspective.
