Skybird, here in the U.S. all firearm transactions must be done through an FFL dealer [as per the GCA of 1968/amended with the FOPA act of 1986]. If I ordered a firearm from Japan, it would have to be imported via an FFL dealer for the final part of the transaction. At this point and time I would be subjected to a background check through the National Instant Check System (NICS) [instituted in 1996] to verifiy that I'm not prohibited by law or court conviction/indictment from owning or possessing a firearm.

So this whole move by sitigroup to stop transactions because it isn't being done face-to-face is

If citigroup doesn't want to support my rights then I don't need to support their business.
