GunTV is an American shopping channel which allows buyers to purchase firearms via their television, launched in early 2016.
Business Model
Unlike other shopping channels, GunTV will not ship any products directly to customers; instead, the customer will pick his/her purchase at the nearest federally licensed dealer, which will complete the necessary background checks and paperwork.[1][2] The weapons will be shipped to the dealers via Louisiana-based wholesaler Sports South.[1]
As it is illegal to fire a firearm inside a studio in California, GunTV shall feature in-studio inactive firearms combined with recorded outdoors demonstrations, which shall be made "by former law enforcement personnel, former members of the military and sharpshooters with a profile among the fanbase, such as ex-Olympic marksmen and season winners of the reality TV show Top Shot".[2]
