Same here. I bought an AR-15, and a semi-auto pistol at a gunshow in Mobile Alabama (I don't even live there). The backround check took about 30 minutes. What loophole?

If the bad guys are talking about private person to private person sales, then they don't need to mention gunshows. Private sales go on all the time, at places other than gun shows.

To be fair........(and we aren't like them now are we ?:o).....if ya buy from a "dealer" at a show the background is mandated. If ya buy from a Mom and Pop table selling what they don't need from their personal collection ya have no background check. At least that was the way it worked at the show I attended last month here in Texas. Local ordinance for ordnance may drive different rules but that was my last experience regarding the matter.

I have no problem with either method but I do prefer the constitutional version. The yellow sheet just ensures I won't have to hunt "them" when they turn to sedition and try to collect my constitutional freedoms. Consider it a crippled rabbit call for traitors.

Stay safe !

The only 'loophole' I've seen is that with my Texas CHL card, they don't bother to do any background check. Technically I could still have the card after being out on bail for murder.

Not that I care, but still.. :)
