Yes, there are private online sales but they require a face to face transaction which then removes the "online" portion as that was just where the buyer and seller met. Unless the seller ships directly to the private purchaser which is against the law.

That's interesting. I didn't know how that works. The shooter from Virginia Tech bought his weapons from that place in Milwaukee. It was a big deal on the local news for quite a while. They made it sound like all you had to do was have a credit card and a package arrives at your home,like anything you would get from Amazon.
Thanks for clearing that up.
