Most if not all ideas about gun and ammo control impact solid citizens harder than criminals. Criminals don't care: they will lie, cheat and steal.

Online would be a very easy check. They already require a credit card so all the perminant information is already given to them. Plus you aren't waiting in line for the clerk to process the check while the line builds and the dirty looks for holding up the line are dished out. The only thing I can think of is that most criminals don't need more than enough to fill the chambrs or the magazine. So buying online to get a few cents cheaper per round is pointless.
