Or does he really think that if someone becomes acquainted over the internet, but meets face to face that this is still considered an internet sale?

He doesn't really realize the circumstances of living next to a state line (he's four blocks away) as far as gun sales are concerned. His first choice would be to remove all guns from private ownership. He was naturally very disappointed in the failure of the Democratically controlled senate to pass any gun control measures. He felt that closing the gun show "loophole" would have been a positive first step towards banning all guns.

He finds it terrifying that guns are so easily available on the internet.

Its really not his fault, he is a print journalist with a five year old boy and two year old girl. Sandy Hook really upset him as it probably did a lot of people with small children. He never discussed guns until the Aurora Movie theater shooting. He has seen a movie in that same theater. In addition his closest Target store was also the location of a mass shooting a few years back.

I have pointed out that his area ranks much higher on the gun freedom index than even Texas. I have also pointed out that Colorado, Illinois, Connecticut and Washington DC rank near the bottom of the gun freedom index, yet these are the locations where there is so much gun violence. He finds it racist that I focus on Chicago and Washington DC gun crime. I have tried to point out that even though he does not own a gun, he indirectly benefits from the lower crime rate his area has due to the higher gun freedom index.

He is probably too liberal to ever change his mind, but I try at times, when he posts something awful about guns to a calmly as possible point out the facts.

Today he went right to the 5 year old shooting his little 2 year old sister with the 22 rifle they left in the corner of the living room.

I have a question.

A anti gun facebook friend has listed this website as a place he can buy a gun on the internet without a background check.

He would like to see all guns confiscated. He played the race card today, too.

He lives in Kansas, a state line straddles Kansas City.

I am assuming it must be face to face, not by mail etc. I am assuming it also must be for your personal use.

If you live in the same state as the gun seller and you are legally allowed to purchase a gun, can you use a site like this find and purchase a gun? Would there not be a background check? thanks,
