The left knows this and does nothing about it. They deliberately choose to leave guns in the hands of violent criminals, and seek to take them from non-violent citizens.
Gun control laws were/are never intended to stop criminals from getting guns.
To the sheeperals, it’s just a feel good maneuver.
To the elitists, it’s disarming opposition.
I scream and shout EVERYtime a stupid media or leftist talks about the gun show loophole.
THERE IS NO GUNSHOW LOOPHOLE.
If anyone buys a gun from a vendor at a gun show there is a background check done.
But private individuals can sell guns to individuals including at gun shows.
Maybe there should be a background check done even in private sales
but I am guessing almost NO guns sold in private sales have been used in muders or mass killings
I hate to be the one that breaks it to people, but, folks who have booths and sell firearms at gun shows are big-time profilers.
At the big, and I mean huge! gun shows in Reno, there are always “people of color” from California trying to purchase guns, often a girlfriend or wife, someone with a Nevada drivers license...someone without a record.
The booth people have told me that they often refuse to sell to someone that they think, ah, might not be legit.
This entire “gun show loophole” is a hoax.
LOL! I wondered about that. Maybe it’s a higher level of street gun sales that has a wait staff. “Would you like some Perrier whilst you wait for your Glock sir? Perhaps a snifter of Brandy or some Dom Perignon?”
So, drunken bro on drunken bro?
The Inconvenient Truth
Better rethink that NO guns sold in private sales have been used in murders or mass killings. If street sales are classified as “private sales”. Oddly enough, the recent high profile killings involved legally obtained firearms. By nutcases.
“At the big, and I mean huge! gun shows in Reno,...” You mean like the one a couple of weeks ago at GSR? Good timing so it didn’t occur with all the burners there this past week. Now there out on the playa but they’ll be back at the end of next weekend. Should be a delight for the odor challenged. Anyway, kind of comforting to see folks walking through the casino with myriad weapons and only out of town tourists being ‘concerned’ by it. I like it.
No politicians will ever address the actual solution to the illegal guns murdering and causing armed robbery. Go after the criminal individuals, the gangs and organized crime.
Yes, you are going to have to sweep entire neighborhoods, blocks, whole city sections.
I did not say NO I said ALMOST
but seriously do you lump “street sales” in with private sales done by law abiding citizens to each other?
Seriously?
and yes the last 2 mass murders were done with legally held weapons.
A lot of them also just have their girlfriends (the ones with no criminal records themselves) buy the guns. Or if you are an illegal immigrant who has stolen someone else’s identity, then use that.
They had to do a study to figure this out?
Isn’t that illegal?
Why would criminals break the law like that? /s
Oh yeah, that’s a keeper... If you don’t mind...
Heck, arnie the RINO outlawed a $12,000 50 cal rifle when he was gov of kali cause, I'm sure, that rifle (Barrett) was the preferred weapon of choice among the crips and bloods.
Forgot about the lumping part. We don’t categorize them that way but bloomers and company will use it against all of us as if law abiding folks do it all the time.
I’d like to get all high and mighty and say that I NEVER misread
but that wouldn’t be true.
so I understand :)
