Gun owners have to be seen to be safe and secure IMHO so the ignorant non-gun users feel safe and have no concerns. It should be very hard and preferably, impossible for someone without a gun to get one, simple. I mean if you are not mentally stable, and/or if you are a criminal then if its easy we legit owners will suffer. Just look at the illogical, foaming at the mouth academics and other anti-gunners stance, do we really want to hand them an incident with ease? Cause if one happens it will be bye bye semi-autos and hello "you can own 2 guns and 100 rounds of ammo and have to hand in the brass to get new" before you can eye blink.

Um, Thats all good but I think you miss the important points

1. Reporter broke the law
2. Reporter broke the law
3. Reporter broke the law

If the system need fixing then the police would have done it.
All sales are recorded in the "Dealer Book" which i think must be retained for 5 years,
It was payed for by C/Card number recorded on the order so its tracable if required

Where was the "licence holder" within arms length when the picture was taken with the reporter holding the "gun" (another offence??)

Having brought a number of firearms on line I have had the orders "stamped" or just signed and "not stamped" over the years so the big deal about no stamp is just another red hearing.

No matter what happens the reporter and all others found to be involved must be charged and court process followed. Otherwise we have one rule for us and another for "them"
