In an extremely misleadingly labelled piece of legislation, Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) recently introduced “The Accountability for Online Firearms Marketplaces Act.”
“It’s time to start holding accountable those who turn a blind eye to illegal gun sales on their [online] platforms,” said Feinstein. “The only way to reduce the scourge of gun violence plaguing our communities is to close loopholes that allow prohibited people to obtain guns.”
Under the proposed bill, websites that have firearms advertised for sale could be held accountable for any crimes committed by people who use these firearms, even if the websites obeyed all existing laws. This includes websites that do nothing more than share ads; for example, the bill specifically mentions Armslist, a website that displays classified ads for firearms, ammunition, and shooting accessories.
“Online gun marketplaces fail to take common-sense safety measures to prevent illegal gun sales on their platforms,” said Whitehouse. “There is no reason why a retailer should be allowed to evade responsibility simply because they operate online. It’s time to close this cyber loophole and protect against more unnecessary suffering.”

Utter nonsense. Online firearm sales are subject to the same rules any FFL transaction is.

I've purchased most of my firearms online, followed by gun shows. All thru FFLs. Purchasing online, one actually goes thru two FFLs. The seller and the local FFL the firearm is shipped to. I also have purchased or were gifted firearms from individuals as well. And some from local gun stores. Very few new purchases. My oldest is a Colt Fourth Model Deringer, but my 577/450 Gahendra may be older depending on when each was manufactured.

They call him "bill" Clinton, because he acts with deceit and malice, and sends us all the "bill."

I guess the question is whether this is a show piece for the ignorant, or whether that is just the cover for some other sneaky crap hidden in the legislation.

He may have been the king once, but he's a piker compared to Joe. Who knows how many years or decades 'getting Bidened' will replace the old getting screwed, reamed or F'd over.
