Should guns be available for purchase online with no background check? - Felonious Monkey - 04-08-2014 04:45 AM
Under current laws if a criminal wants to buy a gun they don't even have to leave their house. They can simply go to sites like Guns for Sale (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ohiogunsammo/) or Craigslist, or Instagram, or a million other online gun depots.
These sites are not only common, they're legal, and they don't require background checks.

*facepalm* It's like you're not even trying anymore u_bin.
"One thing is for sure: People are using Facebook and Instagram to find customers for licit gun purchases, which was legal before the announcement, and is still legal now."

um... the story you use as "reference" calls them ILLEGAL gun sales within the first 20 words..
..and Instagram is a "gun depot?"
...do the people who tell you what to think give you any advice as to how not to appear foolish when parroting their talking points?
**Really? So Craigslist actually a murdering prostitute in your world or just a brothel? You know, seeing as people post perfectly "legal" ads for illegal activities...

Yes.
Yes, citizens should continue to be free to buy and sell their personal property to each other.
