Anyone else see this?
Gun purchases up by 43% since Friday in Colorado.

*I know that didn't apply in the CO shooting.
I don't think that's true for pistol sales...only rifles, and the seller of the rifle, IIRC, has to know who they sold it to. This is based on a very brief conversation with my stepdad, so I'm not 100% sure. I'm still at work, so don't sue me for not trying to look it up right now.
If it's a private dealer they don't have to wait for those background checks. And you can leave with a handgun that day. I think my dad got his Pistol from a gun show and came home with it that day and didn't have to wait. They do a quick call in background check or something.
In NC, I know in order to transfer ownership of a pistol you need to get a transfer permit to do so if someone doesn't buy it but it was given as a gift.
Also, this gunman did not buy his AR-15 online, he bought it from a gun shop, he just got the ammo online.

Oates said Friday night that Holmes had purchased 6,000 rounds of ammunition on the Internet. He purchased his four guns at area gun shops, the first of which, a Glock, he acquired in May at Gander Mountain, a national chain of outdoor retailers. Six days later, he went to a local Bass Pro Shops to purchase a shotgun. Between the two stores, over the next two months, he would also buy the AR-15 and the Remington. “Background checks, as required by federal law, were properly conducted, and he was approved,” Larry Whiteley, a Bass Pro Shops spokesman, said in a statement.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.
