b) Responsibilities of Gun Show Promoters- It shall be unlawful for any person to organize, plan, promote, or operate a gun show unless that person--
(1) before commencement of the gun show, verifies the identity of each gun show vendor participating in the gun show by examining a valid identification document (as defined in section 1028(d)(3)) of the vendor containing a photograph of the vendor;
(2) before commencement of the gun show, requires each gun show vendor to sign--
(A) a ledger with identifying information concerning the vendor; and
(B) a notice advising the vendor of the obligations of the vendor under this chapter;
(3) notifies each person who attends the gun show of the requirements of this chapter, in accordance with such regulations as the Attorney General shall prescribe; and
(4) maintains a copy of the records described in paragraphs (1) and (2) at the permanent place of business of the gun show promoter for such period of time and in such form as the Attorney General shall require by regulation.
Guys this ain't a "background check" thread - it's about the gun show bill.
How do you know a background check would have denied him a purchase?
I see no evidence shown that he was a prohibited person in any way, just that his English skills were poor and that maybe he was frustrated by that.
. Which was presented as evidence that all private sellers can be trusted to do their own intuitive background checks, so mandating real background checks is unnecessary.
I don't. But the original post stated that this individual noticeably only went to sellers who did not require a background check. This fact raises the probability that he was avoiding a background check for a reason.
So which laws are being broken to allow guns into the hands of patently unsuitable people? Seems to me that stricter enforcement of existing laws is going to require closer oversight of gun sales, private or public.
Let's have some workable suggestions to solve the problem of guns getting into the wrong hands.
I wonder what would happen if a new fad emerged
and a criminal's preferred weapon was a drill?
Do we regulate drills too?
Gordon Brown has pledged the Government will take immediate action to tackle the scourge of knife crime, in the wake of four stabbing deaths in one day in London.
The Prime Minister said new measures would be announced on Monday by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.
The Prime Minister's comments were echoed by Britain's most senior police officer, Sir Ian Blair, who said his officers were doing everything possible to get knives off the streets.

Senator .....,
I am writing to ask that you oppose S. 843, and encourage your colleagues to do likewise. This bill is intended to close the alleged “gun show loophole.” However, as I am sure you are aware; the phrase “gun show loophole” actually refers to the private transfer of firearms between individuals. To prohibit the private sale of firearms is an affront to one’s private property rights, as well as an affront to the right to keep and bear arms.
The proponents of this bill are falsely claiming that the “gun show loophole” allowed the Columbine killers to obtain the firearms with which they committed their terrible and senseless acts of violence. However, my understanding is that the firearms were purchased through an illegal transaction known as a straw purchase. Obviously, additional firearms laws would have done nothing to prevent the already-illegal transaction. I find it terribly offensive that the proponents of this bill are making false claims about the very real tragedy at Columbine in order to advance their agenda. If I lost a loved one to a similar tragedy, I would be outraged at the prospect of someone twisting the facts surrounding it in order to promote their own agenda.
I hope that you will oppose S. 843 for the sake of all Americans.
I will continue to pray that all the leaders of the United States will be granted the wisdom to do what is best for our great nation.
Sincerely,
.... ....... ......
