Not really, because the local dealer it's shipped to will be compensated. And it'll bring more business to their stores.

The nervous hens are at it again, imagining ordering a gun ala QVC and having it arrive a week later. Not so. The purchases are shipped to a dealer, then the buyer follows all laws before acquiring it from.the dealer. What this does do, is widen the choice of weapons to include those local gun shops don't carry. That's a good thing.

Lol, again, it's amusing to hear the hand-wringers on TV, who know nothing about guns OR this venture, flap their gums about both.

My question is, how many guns do Americans need, for Pete's sake? We already have 90 guns for every 100 people. Does someone really need more of them?

There's 10 people in your claimed count that don't have one, that would be a place to start.

Yeah. And just who are those other 90 people? They don't live around me. But then just throwing out numbers without facts is nothing new.

Reminds me of a joke by the late NYC comedian David Brenner. Brenner is driving through Texas and is pulled over by a Texas state trooper.


Trooper: "Sir, do you have a firearm in that vehicle?"
Brenner: "Oh, no, officer!"
Trooper: "Well, here, take this one."

It's amazing, guns reproduce in the safe. One day there's one the next day two. And, you know where it goes from there.


I believe that I read an article that said the average gun owner owns 8 weapons. Not sure how accurate that is, but I bet it's close

(Only thing worse is holsters. MrsM and I have a drawer full....THERE IS NO PERFECT HOLSTER)

Of course they do, just like the stuff you store in your closet. Only belongings that never get any privacy fail to breed.

YES THERE IS! You just haven't found it yet. Now go and shop some more.

There's been as many deaths in Obama's Fast and Furious campaign (and they're still piling on) as there was in both the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts combined.... yet we worry about a few nut jobs shooting up their work environs. Workplace violence has been going on since before I was born... it will be going on after I'm dead. How about we work on things we can work on, like not funding arms to Cannibal Warlords in Liberia, and handing tanks over to ISIS? Make your votes count and vote to not pay taxes to fund our REAL gun control issues.

This isn't necessarily a good thing. I'm a second amendment supporter in a libertarian state, but I don't think this is a good idea. Many tv addicts can't even handle a car properly, you want to give the QVC addict a gun?

BUT...BUT...BUT...
All transactions will have to go through a licensed dealer, and the dealer has to (according to FEDERAL LAW) do a background check. That means that no one can get a gun unless they are cleared by an agency of THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT!
Such background checks are exactly what the "common sense gun laws" supporters want! what could possibly go wrong?
Oh, wait, San Bernardino comes immediately to mind.
Oh, well...
Full back ground checks will stop gun violence! Those who demand it know it to be true!
