Exactly. Most don't know the process in buying a gun.

They already have an Ebay for guns. I have bid and purchased an old WW2 model rifle from there before. I had to ship it to a dealer, then go there in person, get run through the federal database, complete some paperwork and I was on my way.

It's not a free-for-all like some people think.

I think all of the anti gun politicians have a lot of stock in gun companies kind of like how they also drone on about climate change yet live in mansion and fly around in private jets. Anyways they like mass shooting because it is good for their ego (preach about guns being bad) and their bank account.

They might have a better selection than a local mom and pop gun shop.

Look at the 9mm Springfield XDS. Small, light and can hold 9+1 (I got too fat to carry my Glock 19, it kept digging into my side regardless of the holster

I thought ebay stopped gun sales. I just did quick search and only saw air guns, cap guns and grips

I hope her kids don't end up killing themselves when she leaves the gun laying around.

When or if someone orders a gun from a channel like that and then uses it in a shooting: If it is proven that the firearm was purchased through a gun shopping channel, then there are attorneys (for victims families) that will find a way to sue the channel, the cable provider and delivery service that delivered the firearm (FedEx, UPS).


And, just curious. . . . How is a background check done on someone that 'orders' a gun from a 24 hour gun channel. Seriously: I just had to go in person to renew my driver's license and had to wait over an hour at the DMV. If it is easier to buy a gun than renew a drivers license, then something is wrong.


It couldn't be any easier for me to renew my license.
