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.

yeah, it is definitely differnt but still not fun to be staring down the barrel of a gun. apparently i had the same kind of car as someone who recently stole a bunch of guns so they assumed i was armed and dangerous. anyways, i didn't know that about online gun sales. though, i wonder how any dealer in his right mind would of handed the kind of weapons james holmes ordered looking the way he does, not to mention the shear amount of it. you would think that kind of large scale orders would or should of set off some kind of red flag in the system.
