ter: Buying a gun online in a city with strict gun-control is legal?
.. there's no such thing, excepting washington DC & chicago a few years back, as 'strict gun control', and that pertained only to handguns - longguns (rifles & shotguns) were legal in DC & chicago, in fact of DC's 550,000 residents, about 100,000 had legal longguns.
.. and it's not just cities, it's states; nowhere in america has 'strict gun control'. There is relatively 'stricter' gun control in Massachusetts, RI, Maryland, New York, Illinois, California, Hawaii, NewJersey, and yes Connecticut, but there is no such thing as 'strict gun control' in the USA. In fact, it's better written as 'less lax' gun conrol in those 9 states... (connecticut has some form of limited 'shall issue' concealed carry laws, where citizens generally can get a concealed carry license simply if they want one).
.. In every state in America you can legally buy a gun, as long as you are a legal beagle. This was true even prior to the 2008 & 2010 supreme court decisions (subversions of bill of rights, revistionist history authored by scalia, er scalitomas).
.. Nearly half the guns in the world are in America, can we realistically think writing congressmen will prevent these mass shootings in schools & malls? no they won't, there are too many guns in america, about 300 million of the 600 million guns in the world. The best we can hope for is a reduction in the occurrence by passing 1) assault rifle ban 2) closing gunshow loophole and enabling 3) one gun per months laws, as well as retaining background checks. This is it - all we can reasonably expect - no magic counterbullet, just a marginal reduction in violent crime & gundeath, by passing & supporting what to other countries would be a modicum of guncontrol.
and, Tell the NRA to go to hell with their mentality - MORE GUNS MORE LIES.
