Just figured I'd ask just in case someone here knows the facts regarding internet transactions.
What, if any, federal or state laws must one adhere to when faciliting online transactions involving firearms, such as classifieds & auctions?
Of course buyers/sellers always need to adhere to federal laws & state laws applicable to them when buying/selling anytime, but what laws govern/regulate someone who operates a website that allows classifieds & auctions. What kind of statements should one make to protect themselves to eliminate liability. Are there any liabilities involved for one who owns & operates a site allowing firearm transactions online?
Because I am still researching this, I decided that maybe it would be safe to only allow transactions on pre 1898 firearms & disallow anything involving ammunition.
What about gun parts? Edged weapons? Laws regarding shipping?
I figured I should research all the laws prior to allowing ads & auctions on my site that I'm building. My site is targeted to collectors & antiques, however, I need to be aware of any laws I may have to follow.
I see parts on ebay, so, is it safe to follow the same guidelines they have?
