In a sketch released online early, Schumer plays a home shopping host hawking guns (and Steve Irwin commemorative coins). "Here is what's great about this: now pretty much anyone can purchase this," she says in character. The sketch goes on to include all the gun purchasing loopholes, like gun shows and the Internet as well as state laws allowing legally blind people to purchase guns. The lower third messaging also changes, bringing to light issues with gun control while poking fun. "If you're mentally ill, you'd be mentally ill not to give us a call," a message says on screen as the guns sold ticker rises. The lower third also includes members of Congress who were recipients of gun lobby money.

2. On-line sales must originate with a dealer, and be shipped to a dealer...

All dealers at gun shows must follow the same NICS procedures as used in brick & mortar sites. I see no reason why blind people cannot purchase a firearm. Questions of use can be handled without blanket discrimination against the blind (in Texas and other states, a blind person may hunt with a gun when assisted by a liscensed and sighted hunter).

The so-called "loop holes" are actually non-dealer sales from individual-to-individual; yet even here, one cannot knowingly sell to a disqualified individual. A way to improve the NICS procedure is to allow general public access to the NICS system (currently, only FFL dealers can use the system since the NICS system was only designed for dealers).
