Reply #79: It is seem that you have no personal experience with guns or gun buying, [View All]

So I'll help you out. All gun sales by gun dealers at gun shows must conform to federal gun sales laws. That includes background checks. If an non-federally licensed individual sells a gun to another individual the same rules do not apply. For example, you could buy a gun from another private citizen with no FEDERAL paperwork required. Some states have stricter laws. <p>The point of all this is that criminals do not buy their guns from licensed firearms dealers specifically to avoid the background check that they would be subject to, whether at a gun show or a gun store. The "loophole" is a fantasy. For all practical purposes it is a non-issue for law abiding citizens and criminals alike. Only those intent on taking guns away from law abiding citizens continue to cling to this myth. It sure as hell isn't causing any criminals to lose any sleep.
