The “gun show loophole” - isn’t. (Ever notice that “loopholes” only appear in laws that block the liberal agenda?) It was specifically added to the 1968 Gun Control Act as an escape value to prevent a national gun registration/confiscation list. That’s why the Democrats have, ever since, been trying to expand the check.
If all they are concerned with is your criminal/mental history, why do they want the serial number, caliber and type of firearm? (Schumer wants a 4473 for EVERY transaction.)
The elephant in the living room is that if every law-abiding citizen has to get government clearance before buying a firearm, what’s to prevent obama, et al from declaring a “National Emergency” (real or bogus) and shut down the background checks for “public safety”? Ergo, a total ban on gun transfers. Those naive people who believed the police would protect them and didn’t arm themselves will find out the penalty the hard way.
value = valve
