Another interesting statistic mentioned in an article: http://coloradopeakpolitics.com/2013/04/18/peakfeed-why-national-democrats-lost-the-gun-fight-in-one-chart/
In a 2000 gallup poll, 51% said having a gun in a house made it a more dangerous place to be, where 35% said it made it safer. A 2004 gallup poll showed those responses getting closer, and in 2006 another gallup poll had 47% saying safer with a lower percentage saying more dangerous. The 2013 WaPo/ABC poll has 51% saying it makes the house safer and 29% saying more dangerous. Personally, I'll admit there is a danger of mixing polling sources... but then again the narrative seems to support the practice based on the 40% personal transfer statement. Also, regarding online purchases, a search pointed me to http://www.championfirearms.com/How-To-Buy-A-Firearm-s/264.htm as well as several sites that talked about ways to purchase them illegally. Let's stick to the legal realm here, rather than skirting laws (assuming your goal is to not be a criminal at the end of your transaction). Buying a Gun Online From Champion Firearms: Please Read the Following Carefully: FFL Transfer Arrangements- before placing an order, please contact a local dealer in your area to arrange legal transfer. · Since we are not allowed to ship the firearm directly to you, this is your first legal prerequisite to purchasing a firearm online. · Be sure to request any local or state laws regarding firearm ownership or possession. · Then make sure you address all fees involved in the transfer process (i.e. FFL, DOJ, registration, licensing, etc.). Second Prerequisite to Buying a Gun Online- will be to determine whether or not you may legally possess the firearm in the first place. · Some states, cities or districts have fairly strict laws when it comes to firearms. · Please check with your dealer and the proper authorities to affirm your legal ability to possess the exact type of firearm you plan to order Final Prerequisite- will be to confirm your legal eligibility because you will have to pass the FBI NICS (depending upon region, perhaps additional) background check to own a firearm. · Remember, disqualifying criminal offenses do not automatically drop over time.
