You finally found that gun you've been searching for. A rifle. You HAVE to have. Come to me, Precious! And for such a low price. You do some some quick calculations. Shipping? Got it. FFL? Yep. That 3% charge for using a card with that website, ie; Bud's or similar websites?
Decisions, decisions.
You can theorize on any number of reasons as to why the firearm industry just doesn't absorb this fee like- oh, I don't know -almost* every other sales industry in the United States, but what do you do? Lick the stamp and keep the post office in business or cough up the add on cash to cut through the red tape?
*did I really have to add that clarification? Yes. Apparently I did.
