Wow, talk about moving goal posts... You were all enraged with his conflating Walmart and private sales, but have no problems making up stuff that I didn't say.
As for online sales: "According to the ATF, any unlicensed person -meaning not a Federal Firearms Licensee- may transfer a firearm to another unlicensed person residing in the same state as long as that person is not barred from owning a gun. This means it's perfectly legal under federal law to transfer your gun to another person without any extra steps as long as they are allowed to own a firearm. There is no federal requirement for having a license to do so, and you don't need to fill out any paperwork. As long as you're both residents of the same state, your transaction is essentially unrestricted."
So how about state laws you ask?
"Private Transfers of Firearms Wyoming does not regulate private sales and transfers of firearms".
I didn't make anything up, but it looks like misread your comment. My bad, but when you start throwing out shit that didn't have anything to do with the comment I replied to, that can easily happen. Regardless, neither of those links say you can purchase a gun online and have it shipped directly to you. I'm not aware of that happening anywhere or any mechanisms to facilitate that anywhere. That's not a thing that happens.
