What exactly is the famous "gun show loophole?"
Forgive my ignorance, but is it really OK for people to do private sales without background checks? This topic seems somewhat confusing and I admit I need to learn more about it, but private sales of firearms without a background check doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
Felons go to gun shows and buy firearms from private parties. The BATF knows all about it and is at the gun shows where they regularly make arrests.
I don't know if the 4473 slows violent crime or not, but it sure as hell slows down felons purchasing firearms from other than black market sources.
Selling firearms to felons is a bad idea. Dispute that statement.
What I do not understand is why the infamous gun-show loophole came to the fore-front so forcefully after the Virginia Tech Massacre. I do not recall the murderer buying his gun from a gun-show at all. It is terrible how the gun-grabbers will use a national tragedy of that caliber to further their political agenda.
Selling firearms to felons is a bad idea. Dispute that statement.
So private sales have no effect on violent crime either way right?
If they are that dangerous, that they can't be trusted with a gun, why are they allowed out in public? They should be locked up.
