Thanks for the clarification. I have never bought a gun anywhere, so I was unaware of that.
But doesn't it say something that the Aurora shooter bought almost all, if not all, of his stuff on the internet? Just curious.
No discussion on the theater shooting?

It says the internet is a very powerful vehicle for commerce, but that's a common sense opinion.
It's just the same as walking in a gun store. The product just gets delivered to a gun store or a FFL (a gun dealer) to be held and you have to check out with them just the same way as buying the product off the shelf. The ATF checks their clearances one or two times per year . Basically you can order an pay, and then not be able to pick it up if your background checks don't clear. You just have access to different prices and inventory off the web.
Accessories can be purchased off the web with ease. Scopes, clips (subject to state regs), slings, etc...

I'd still like to see someone offer something directed at illegal gun owners (aka criminals) and exclude legal gun owners. Not doing so will never get the backing from pro gun, and not doing so is just lazy posturing when these tragedies occur from the antis. Thus no progress will be made.

When Kevin Mclaughlin entered the Dollar General in Orrville, Alabama, he probably didn’t expect it would be the last thing he would ever do. Brandishing a pistol, the man began herding people into the breakroom. But concealed permit holder Marlo Ellis waited until the right moment to gun down the potential murderer, which led many to call him a ‘Good Samaritan’ and a true hero.
The man is not set to be charged with any crime for defending himself and others against the masked gunman.

I'd call it natural selection. What kind of moron robs a Dollar Store?? Was the Goodwill store already closed?

You must have never worked for a big company ever. They "play the numbers" all of the time.
If any other result had come from him pulling the gun, then I think you'd consider discussing the numbers. Cause that's what you do ni those situations.

"Most" isn't "none" .

Most bizarre comment ever. What does employment experience with a big company (that you routinely rail against) have to do with being threatened with a gun?
Not a thing.

Again, if any other result happened, you would wish they played the odds.

Nope. This just pigeonholes y'all's fantasy scenarios where it's not possible someone saves the day, simple as that. According to most of this thread, it isn't doable to thwart crime with a gun. Low and behold this guy may have saved a ton of lives.

And if he missed or the guy saw his gun, he may have gotten all of them killed.
I'm not opposed to gun ownership, I think the debate over it is yet another way for dems and reps to keep raping the people and pointing to truly false issues. The amount of people killed by our govt is way higher than anyone who kills someone with a gun.

If they all were dead, he would have started shooting much earlier. Unless of course he is the dumbest criminal ever.

Look someone who had a gun was involved with a robbery someone opened fire on him and people were caught in the crossfire.
That took me like 2 seconds to find. We can make strawmen arguments back and forth if you want.

Please show where anyone was struck in the crossfire bc thats certainly not how the story reads. The story actually works against your point of robberies not involving gunfire.
"The incident unfolded at about 11:30 p.m. at the Safe & Sound Senior Citizens' Social Club, located at 2200 N. Broadway, in Gary, when a man entered and began firing. Officers responding to a call of shots fired entered the building and found patrons screaming and four people with gunshot wounds.
The alleged gunman, Kendell Reed from Chicago, was also wounded when someone inside the club retaliated."
