I am not surprised that Obama lied today during his speech. I am just surprised that no news agencies have fact checked his claims. No a felon cannot buy a gun online. When you purchase firearms online they are shipped to a licensed firearm dealer where you have to pass a background check before you can pick the gun up.

"A violent felon can buy the exact same weapon over the internet with no background check, no questions asked." @POTUS #StopGunViolence
I know better than to get in a guns talk but I can´t sleep.
Regarding regulation at shows or the internet, it seems pretty pointless, its totally pointless...
Last year I was at a trader conference in Florida on my way elsewhere. I wandered down to a small poorly attended gunshow in a hotel conference room. I was not asked for ID. A new model of an old familiar caught my attention and I had to pick it up and look see.
I told the man (store owning dealer) I was not American so could not buy it (not that I had any intention) assuming the implication of tourist was obvious. He immediately just offered to have his brother sell me the gun + exciting array of .50 shells, no questions asked for cash outside the room. He did not show any interest in why I needed a Barrett M107A1 while asking if I had the cash today. I had chatted about being at the trader conference and its an expensive weapon...
I doubt I need to explain to people on this thread what a M107A1 can do, simply that entire bus queues are more easy prey than messing about with namby pamby ARs around the office.
Perhaps proof of 3rd party liability insurance could play a role but with gun dealers that nakedly greedy (righteous defender of constitution my ass) and outrageously behaved... It has nothing to do with reasonable personal self defence selling that class of weapon to anyone outside the military.
I know it may seem naive but frankly I was jaw dropped at the lunacy of it in real life.
