Here at Omaha Outdoors, we’ve been inundated with inquiries from out-of-state folks – many from California – asking if we can ship them a gun directly. The answer is, of course, no. Despite what politicians and many in popular media claim, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped to your house. Well, you could, if you were a federally licensed firearm dealer (or federally licensed curio and relic collector) and your home was your place of business. Other than that, no, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped, especially across state lines, to your home...You mean all those people living on top of each other in big cities--or living behind tall walls in gated communities--really do fear and despise their countrymen, but can afford to pretend they don't until the veneer of civilization drops just a quarter of an inch? Color me shocked. And now they want firearms to protect them from the great unwashed who might crash through their doors and steal toilet paper in a coronavirus-induced panic? Reap what you sow.
We’re not alone in noticing that usually anti-gun people are suddenly very interested in having guns. On Twitter, Robert Evans wrote, “The sheer number of normally anti-gun people who have reached out to me about buying a firearm in the last week is wild.”
This cudgel they've swung for so long, that anyone can buy firearms over the internet with ease, is shown to be a lie. Maybe they knew that, maybe they didn't, but what they've been saying publicly is now proven to be demonstrably, verifiably, wrong. I'll enjoy knowing that they have to live with their fears, the firearms laws they claim to have wanted for so long applying to them and not just to those crazies who live in the boondocks.
As I've seen on social media lately: how does mass transportation, reusable grocery bags, pushing people into urban areas, open borders, and outsourcing our industry overseas seem now? And you can add overly-burdensome firearms regulations to that list.
