Do you honestly believe that people with bad intentions do not exploit the gun show loophole?

[suplex3000]

Gun show loophole is a U.S. political term referring to private sellers at gun shows not being required to perform a background check on or record the sale of firearms to private buyers.

Gun control advocates say the loophole allows prohibited buyers to use gun shows to buy weapons without a background check.[citation needed]

Speaking of gun shows... I have a question about them. Are there better deals there than at most local gun shops?

No question about that. But so what? The so-called "loophole" exists for the purpose of preserving and facilitating the intent and the spirit of the Second Amendment.

Sometimes.

I once bought a Marlin 39-A (lever action .22), used but in mint condition for $35 at a gun show.
