There is no loophole.
Online gun sales are also subject to a Federal background check. When one purchases a firearm online, the seller must ship to a local FFL (Federal firearms dealer). The buyer then goes to his local dealer to fill out the 4473 and have the background check completed.
As for unregistered, thats a local matter concerning a given jurisdiction, having nothing to do with the Federal law that requires a background check for gun purchases, including those conducted online.
So the transaction was illegal? Am I getting this right?
And if so, the seller obviously broke the law, but did the purchaser break the law as well by participating in this transaction?
Not trying to lay blame here; just trying to figure out the law .
No One is required to have a concealed carry permit to own a firearm. Unless California requires a license to buy a hand gun and the dealer did not get one from the buyer nothing illegal occurred. Further a BACKGROUND check WAS conducted or the FFL dealer would be locked up.
Online sales DO have back ground checks. You can ONLY ship firearms to and from a FEDERALLY licensed dealer. When the weapon arrives the buyer has to go to the dealer and fill out the paper work which includes a BACKGROUND check.
Lakota is just stupid as are most gun grabbers.
Thanks.
