If something like this happens in Aus., immediately virtually Everyone tries to find ways to tighten gun laws and restrict their access and ability of anyone from obtaining them.
Hence we don’t suffer such occurrences that often in fact they are extremely rare.

if you have your FFL could you be kind enough to explain a few things to me. I am wanting to start off selling online and from my home and eventually buy my own store. I have been reading on a paid website called FFLkit.com but I am still a bit confused on a few things such as, a firearm storage certificate? finger print card? and acquisition & disposition (A&D) reports?
also just out of curiosity what is the general mark up cost on firearms if bought at wholesale?

Ok so if I’m 18 and a friend of mine is 21, can he purchase the pistol from the store, and then sell it to me? I think the law is 21, but I heard something about that only applying to registered dealers or something. I have never been arrested, and my buddy who would purchase the pistol actually works at the sport and goods department in this grocery store and handles the sales of guns. thanks

ok so it says this:

Handguns

* Permit to purchase handgun? No
* Registration of handguns? No
* Licensing of owners of handguns? No
* Permit to carry handguns? No*

* It is unlawful to sell or transfer a firearm capable of being concealed on one’s person to anyone who has been convicted of a felony or adjudicated a delinquent minor for conduct that would constitute a felony if committed by an adult. It is an affirmative defense that 10 years or more has elapsed since the unconditional discharge on the prior offense.

* It is unlawful to knowingly sell or transfer a firearm to a person whose physical or mental condition is substantially impaired as a result of an intoxicating liquor or drug, or to sell a firearm to a person less than 18.
"Jsatt" – this is from the official gun laws in Alaska – " Registration of handguns? No "

so apparently in my state, registration of a hand gun is not required

Aren’t they and reproduction considered antique models and therefore no need to get a license to get one?

Note: Many online stores who sells it still has to ship it to a FFL dealer why,and do you need a license to acquire it from the dealer?
Wow, thank you everyone!
All these answers look great and thoughtful, its too hard for me to choose the best one!
BTW I live in the Bay Area in California.

act on it immediately, like tomorrow during his speech ok fine.. The Mayor of New York will tell the President what to do and when to do it, Also the Mayor said that most of these killing are from illegal guns. So My question is… How is tougher gun control laws on legally sold guns going to help the killing situation which he stated comes from illegal guns?
