(12) Selling arrangements of firearms and their components by means of distance communication may pose a serious threat to security as they are more difficult to control than the conventional selling methods, especially as regards the on line verification of the legality of authorisations. It is therefore appropriate to limit the selling of arms and components by means of distance communication, notably internet, to dealers and brokers. However, an exception to this rule may be permissible if, following an on line sale, the firearm in question or its essential components can be collected by the person acquiring the firearm only at the premises of police or other competent authorities of Member States as determined under national law.
