    It happened to a friend of mine. I don’t think it was intentional. Guns are common heirlooms, suicide definitely makes it awkward though.

        You know that, even in the US, you can’t just sell a gun online and ship it to their house, right?

        In fact, someone without a federal firearms dealer’s license can’t transfer a handgun to ANYONE who lives in a different state at all.

          Oh. In that case I’ll give it to my son and tell him on Christmas day that his uncle killed himself with it.

          You can sell a gun online, the transfer just has to go through an FFL holder who will run required background checks.

          I think you could, black powder weapons are regulated weirdly. But yeah anything that uses modern powder would need to be sold to a gun shop.

            Silencerco took advantage of this once and made the Maxim 50. I don’t think many people bought it, but it was made just to utilize that loophole.
