56. Let's get our info right, OK???

You CAN NOT purchase firearms through the mail, and have them delivered to your front door, other than through the Civilian Marksmanship Program, which is vetted by the US Government. You can't go to Hillbilly Bob's Gun Store's website, pay for an AR-15, and have it sent to your front door. Not since 1968. You have to have a firearm sent to a local FFL, and go through the normal purchase requiem for your state at that FFL. Which means, filling out a 4473, wait times, if applicable, and receipt of a go/no go on the background check. If you know, FOR A FACT, that Guns.com is selling firearms to individuals without going through the process, then REPORT THEM! IT'S ILLEGAL!

"And because there are more gun dealers than McDonalds and Starbucks who the fuck needs a hardware store?"
You missed the WHOLE POINT. Prior to 1968, you didn't NEED a gun dealer. Your local hardware store had guns in stock. No paperwork involved. No muss, no fuss. If you search, you'll see that a certain popular President's assassin used a MAIL ORDER rifle to commit his deed. This, and other incidents, led to passage of the 1968 gun control act, which forbade selling of mail order arms to the public, and starting the current dealer system we use today.
