Hello. I have learned quite a bit from belonging to this forum and even though I don't post a lot, I do read this forum every day. I did a search on this topic and only found one thread but it didn't really explain everything. I all really know about this "loophole" is what I have heard on the news and a lot of the people say they are pro-gun or for the second amendment. I'm not so sure.
THEY say that there is a loophole at gun shows that needs to be closed. THEY say that a person from NY can come to a gun show in PA and buy a gun with no ID and no background check.
Here is what I thought I knew:
I thought person to person sales had to be between people of the same state.
I thought person to person sales required the seller to see the buyers ID.
I thought person to person sales required the seller to believe the buyer was on the up and up.
I thought person to person sales required the seller to also believe the gun is for the buyer.
I guess I also do not understand what gun shows have to do with person to person sales except that they can take place there, but they don't have to.
I have only started CC within the last year so I am not up on all of the politics and laws of buying, selling, shipping, and etc. of guns. Is this just some way for THEM to limit legal sales of firearms or is there genuinely a loophole that should be closed?
Let the education begin.
