It seems like the Senate is trying to pass a law prohibiting the sale of a gun advertised on the Internet, without going through an FFL and background check, for which there is already a law in place requiring a FFL transfer and background check no matter how or where the gun is listed for sale, if it's coming from another state. My query was if anyone had seen the specifics of this proposed law, and how it differs from what we have now, as it appears that the legislators and media believe it's still the 1960's and that anyone can buy a gun advertised on line from any state and have it delivered to their door with no FFL transfer or background check. To me it is a clear indication that the legislators, including many on our side of the issue (and the media - as usual), who are passing laws that affect us all, have no clue as to current gun laws, and the media just keep saying, "expand the background checks to include internet sales." I think between the two of them, they leave the general public under that impression, and NO ONE on our side of the issue has spoken out, or asked to clarify what they mean by "Internet sales." So far I have not received, or seen any evidence to the contrary, hence I asked the question here. "Have you?" As I have said before, this is a heck of a way to win a debate, when bold statements in the media are left unchallenged and not questioned.
If the new law does not differ from what we have now, let them pass it and claim victory, when in reality they have not done anything. Maybe that is the reason nobody is contradicting them. Let them pass a law that bans what is already banned. Now, if it is something else, then lets continue the fight. :tiphat:
