The gun debate

[Buffalo Bob]

Why no mention of where he got the gun? How do they verify age on internet purchases? I would be curious, do you send them a scan of your driver's license? I think that would be easy to defeat, you could just "borrow" someone else's living in the home and pretend to be them.

Require and actually enforce that an adult with an ID matching the purchase name to sign for the package would be the easiest. Only a handful of States require ID checks for online ammo purchases. There is no Federal requirement.

It wouldnt even be a 2A law, its be an interstate commerce shipping gunpowder law.

The Colorado movie theater shooter also bought this ammo online, im sure a lot more mass shooters have as well.

Where did he get the gun?

I wanted to focus on unlimited online ammo purchasing bc I think we can or should all agree that shouldnt be possible. When you get into "where did he get the gun" .... youre entering a territory where no sides will ever agree and its been debated ad nauseum.

Im trying to find one thing, even staunch 2As would support.

Mind blowing that a 13 year old with a prepaid visa gift card could buy 100 rounds of ammo right now.

I should have specified 21 or over as that what it said federal law was for internet purchase of ammo and fire arms. I mostly ship USPS and once in a while Fedex or UPS. You can only specify "Adult Signature Required" that would be anyone 18+ that answers the door at the delivery address. Nowhere is it found a specific person has to sign for the package or someone 21+. I do agree that a 13 year old should not be able to order ammo with a debit card. I am pretty sure a lot of those places take Paypal that you can sign up for using an anonymous e-mail address.

Also if you are in a secure area most often a driver will leave packages that require signatures if no one is home.
