Gun Show Loophole

"Maybe we should register razor knives."

Ummm, the airlines don't let 'em aboard anymore.
They learned from 9/11.
But sadly, America has not yet learned from Sandy Hook, Marjorie Stoneman, etc.

I've sold several guns as a private transfer at gunshows.

If I don't know them I always ask to see a DL to make sure the buyer is a resident of the state and ask them if they are prohibited from owning firearms. On two occasions that I remember I refrained from selling because I didn't like the look of the buyer (ghetto Blacks).

In several decades of buying and selling firearms in private transfers 90% have been with people I know.

I have bought several firearms from private sellers at a gunshow without a background check. Never used one in a crime.

Background checks don't protect anything. Just a waste of time and an attack on our Constitutional right. We should not have to get government permission to enjoy a right guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.

THINK. It is clear your brain has not been engaged for a long time.

You just illustrated that the gun show loop hole is real

Are you an idiot?

Most states allow private transfers of firearms and that is a good thing.

With no background check.

NOT a good thing

With no background check.

You are confused about this Moon Bat.

1. Background checks don't work. Past behavior is not guarantee of future behavior. Several high profile shooters have passed background checks before doing their crime.

2. In this country we have an assumption of innocence until proven guilty. Background checks are an assumption of guilty until proven innocence and that is against basic American values.

3. We have a Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. It is in the Bill of Rights. I shit you not. Go look it up if you don't believe me. Background checks are getting government permission to enjoy a right that is guaranteed in the Constitution and that is wrong. If you have to get government permission to enjoy a right in the Bill of Rights then the Constitution isn't worth the parchment it is written on, is it?

 

[Auld Phart]

Prior to 1968, there were no background checks.

How many mass shootings did the country see per year before that?

 

[M14 Shooter]

He was 18
a 21 yr old minimum age certainly would have

Only if he was unable to get one from the secondary market
Why do you think he could not get one from the secondary market... in Texas?

 

[M14 Shooter]

Do you think we should make it easy?

Yes. It should be easy for the law abiding to exercise their rights.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Heller was a political decision made by Scalia to placate the NRA and the gun crazies

You cannot demonstrate this to be true.

This is a lie, a you know it is impossible to legally avoid the background checks prescribed by federal law -- ands thus, you know there is no loophole.

What The So-Called Gun Show Loophole Really Looks Like

As Fred Nelson shuffled through a crowded convention center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a man tapped him on the shoulder to ask about a gun. In the span of about four minutes, he sold two guns to two different strangers for $600. And he did nothing illegal.

Here it is Meister

From your linked article:

Gun advocates have long claimed the gun show loophole is a myth. A “fact sheet” from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry trade group, declares flatly: “There is no gun show loophole.”

The organization correctly notes that the rules for selling guns aren’t any more lax at gun shows than they would be in most parking lots.

So. Bottom line. No loophole.

Hey dipshit...the poster I referred to explained that he absolutely sold guns at gun shows with no background ..."legally"

SO WHAT ???

 

[M14 Shooter]

As you know, this does absolutely nothing to demonstrate a loophole in the federal laws requiring background checks for gun purchases, as you know it does not illustrate a legal means to avoid those checks.
Please - lie to us some more.

It absolutely does

 

[Couchpotato]

Yes, some. Why are you speaking in such weaselly, absolute terms? Nobody claims a law against something stops all instances of it happening.

If your willing to shoot someone with a gun why would the possession of the gun being illegal bother you?

 

[M14 Shooter]

It absolutely does

Demonstrate how a gun sale that does not require a background check is a legal means to avoid the background check prescribed by federal law.
You absolutely can't
And you won't try.

Making it harder to GET that gun certainly would
