This fits right in w/the TP black helicopter type of conspiracies.


I smell an anti Obama conspiracy in the works. Mika Apr 2013 #1
Why? I think it's just tragic; buying guns off the internet is babylonsister Apr 2013 #3
Right. He's comin tuh git yer guns. Mika Apr 2013 #7
Yes, but an overwhelming majority babylonsister Apr 2013 #8
I agree w/you. Mika Apr 2013 #15
When most people think of Jenoch Apr 2013 #9
What? I buy stuff off the internet all the time, babylonsister Apr 2013 #11
I missed a word. Jenoch Apr 2013 #13
I didn't know that. So babylonsister Apr 2013 #26
So that did not happen with Holmes? This story says otherwise: freshwest Apr 2013 #28
He bought ammo and equipment online, not guns. Travis_0004 Apr 2013 #30
That M1 was not from "some guy on the internets" JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2013 #55
Perhaps you missed it, but a gun is not a helmet. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #44
The gun gets shipped to a Dealer who fills out the paperwork formercia Apr 2013 #16
Yep Duckhunter935 Apr 2013 #20
About that background check... babylonsister Apr 2013 #27
Standard NICS checck Duckhunter935 Apr 2013 #36
Every FFL Duckhunter935 Apr 2013 #37
Because most people don't understand the laws already on the books. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #45
Every federal dealer is required to run the purchaser through the federal NICS system. krispos42 Apr 2013 #61
That transaction was already illegal, per multiple laws. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #42
Wouldn't it be MORE anti-Obama if he'd said it was a REGISTERED gun? n/t. Ken Burch Apr 2013 #10
Obviously, the removed serial # has Obama's hands all over it. Mika Apr 2013 #17
So he illegally purchased an illegal firearm. Just how many more laws would have prevented this? Leslie Valley Apr 2013 #2
Are you suggesting doing so is easy? elleng Apr 2013 #5
Who said the laws aren't being enforced? Renew Deal Apr 2013 #52
but how easy was it to do so booley Apr 2013 #58
Premeditated? CincyDem Apr 2013 #4
broke many existing laws Duckhunter935 Apr 2013 #6
Restricting sales on the internet will prevent this, the ISPs can an do, shut things down. freshwest Apr 2013 #12
same as a newpaper classified Duckhunter935 Apr 2013 #22
You didn't address anything I said, you're defecting again. I won't play that game. Bye. freshwest Apr 2013 #23
I don't follow your reasoning freshwest. The trasnsfer was completely illegal under existing law. slackmaster Apr 2013 #25
I think its obvious that a guy selling a gun without a serial number doesn't care about the law Travis_0004 Apr 2013 #31
Those doing transactions online can be caught and prosecuted. Criminals are used to that. freshwest Apr 2013 #33
Then they will catch the guy who sold it to him. WinniSkipper Apr 2013 #59
FWIW naaman fletcher Apr 2013 #38
I don't think you understand. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #46
We don't know how he got the gun krispos42 Apr 2013 #62
The NRA is blocking a ban on internet sales. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #19
He won't answer, see my replles and his above. n/t freshwest Apr 2013 #24
I think the story is bullshit naaman fletcher Apr 2013 #39
It's too easy to circumvent the law via internet sales; the ATF doesn't have enough resources. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #40
Internet sales are a whole lot easier to track than face-to-face transactions at random locations slackmaster Apr 2013 #41
It is hard to find buyers for those kind of sales without internet ads. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #43
Except of course the USDoJ already measures this and the internet is not a major source AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #47
Then why do the gun mfrs have their panties in a bunch over the thought of banning internet sales? SunSeeker Apr 2013 #49
Because the sales you are referring to take place not between private parties, but between dealers, AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #50
Holmes built his arsenal of bullets, ballistic gear through an unregulated online market. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #51
I agree on the ATF. I wish to increase their budget and confirm director, etc. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #53
So now you want to ban internet sales of WinniSkipper Apr 2013 #60
So someone should be able to buy 10,000 bullets over the internet no questions asked? nt SunSeeker Apr 2013 #63
Was that what I asked? WinniSkipper Apr 2013 #64
I wonder how drug dealers manage to make sales without posting ads on the Internet slackmaster Apr 2013 #56
It's not easy. They get busted all the time; look at our jails. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #57
More gunz will solve this right? DainBramaged Apr 2013 #29
I hope they are able to trace the seller and prosecute to the full extent of the law. bluedigger Apr 2013 #14
When we break the GOP - NRA stranglehold on nominations: freshwest Apr 2013 #32
Thanks for posting this! bluedigger Apr 2013 #34
It'll make no difference there. This has turned into a Gungeon free for all. Bye. freshwest Apr 2013 #35
A new director would be a good thing. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #48
Maybe now we can stop this shit? jpak Apr 2013 #18
If only he'd had a dozen more unregistered guns, this never would have happened, because valerief Apr 2013 #21
I think we can ALL agree that Rick Warren's a weirdo lanlady Apr 2013 #54
