What is the gun show loophole?

[mikeasb]

Listen carefully to what the anti's say when they talk about internet sales. Quite often the say "guns and ammo" in the same context. I think that most of them who have any clue what it takes to buy a gun online understand that the vast majority of transactions go through FFL's. It the warehouse to doorstep purchase of ammo that they are after. Many folks, myself included purchase ammo in large lots when on sale online and have it shipped right to my door. This is what they would like to stop with the "internet sales of guns and ammo" loophole.

Rural/Urban living tends to correlate higher to opinions on guns than Democrat/republican.

Loopholes are things that the government hasn't moved to regulate or made illegal.

A "loophole" is when anyone does something absolutely legal, which someone else objects to and wants to make illega.

PLEASE do not put all Democrats in the group that does not understand - such generalizations show your ignorance. Pro gun, pro 2nd Amendment, Gun -owning & Gun LOVING Democrats exist - I should know, I AM ONE!

Let me rephrase then, politicians who happen to align themselves with the Democrat party.

It is a fair statement to say that politicians who are Democrats favor gun control measures but it isn't fair to say that all Democrats favor gun control.

Whatever the current talking head wants it to be.

A red herring, er, um - gun show loophole is a figurative expression referring to a logical fallacy in which a clue or piece of information is or is intended to be misleading, or distracting from the actual question.

Kinda, but nova also nailed it, do you think that Pelosi, who is a gun owner her self DOES NOT understand what she is proposing, and how it works
Yes they have their useful idiots, but they also have their policy wonks who understand the presentation of the 'reasonable change' and EXACTLY what it will do (ie. screw us over)
