If she can get the supreme court to hold gun and ammo manufacturers responsible when some idiot shoots up a mall that will end it.
She will have to get the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act" repealed first, but Hillary has stated that she wants to repeal this act. So it doesn't just involve getting The Supreme Court to hold a manufacturer liable.

I do read some firearms forums too, and someone posted on one that California is going to try to impose a restriction or ban of internet ammunition sales across state lines. I admit I don't know the details of that.
I'm wondering, how hard would that be to make a federal requirement? I'm guessing that they would have to require any bulk shipment (I suppose you could define that as anything you want, from greater than 1 box, to starting out at the case level) to go to a licensed dealer with a storefront. Could that be pushed through without meeting a ton of resistance? If so, that would wipe out SGammo and a bunch of other online vendors (or at least our access to them).
Also, could they try to force online firearms sellers to change to the model that SOG (Southern Ohio Guns) uses?
For those unfamiliar, it's not like other places, that require you to locate a dealer to ship it to; SOG will list the gun and it's price, but they require that a dealer make the purchase. So instead of contacting, say, Sulzer Firearms, and saying "I have a gun on the way", you would need to contact him, ask him to buy the gun, and pay him for it. Seems like it could be similar, but also that it might be a lot more hassle for the dealer to go through. Also gives the local FFL the opportunity to charge more for the transaction, as he is putting additional time into the process, instead of just recieving shipping and running the necessary forms.
I don't know the business end of it, but if the local FFL has to actually order the gun for you like this, does that affect their taxes differently? Seems like doing it that way makes your purchase part of their actual inventory, instead of just just them providing you with a service.
