Neither did you. It's a critical point. The law is no different at a gun show than elsewhere. There is nothing magic, black or white, about sales at a gun show.
The real target is not private party sales at gun shows, it's gun shows themselves.
One thing about gun show sales is different. There is a much higher chance of their being a police officer or BATFE agent on the premises than at either a gun shop or someone's home.
The Spad (Skyraider) was designed by the same guy who later designed the Scooter (Skyhawk). Ed Heinamann.
Actually, C- from the NRA and a F- from the GOA for McCain.
Very interesting. Not only does McCain support closing a loophole that doesn't exist, he goes to a state not his own to do it.
These not the actions of one who understands the second amendment, let alone supports it, anymore than McCain-Fiengold was written to strengthen the first amendment.
He also shows that he'd clueless. There is no such thing as an "unlicensed dealer". If you are "in the business" of dealing in firearms, you must have a federal firearms license. Period. Stop, end of discussion. (Enforced by cat stomping, dog shooting, goons).
He did want to get reelected. And that was before he was quite such a notorious big name Maverick on the national scene.
???? If the cost of the deal increases, does not that equate to a higher price. (actually it doesn't, price and cost are not the same thing, but in the vernacular they are often equated).
McCain would be a better frog cooker. With Clibama the frog might just jump out of the pot.
But John, I'm a free citizen in a free country. So why is it that, if I took out a full page ad in a newspaper 60 days before an election, and ran this article word-for-word, and encouraged my fellow citizens to vote for you, and against your opponent, I could be fined and jailed? Why is that, John?
I do believe the answer to my question is the McCain-Feingold law, John. Which is another piece of the puzzle of the things you just don't get.
And since you don't get this, you don't get my vote. Do you get that, John?
Thank you for making my point.
Whenever the MSM reports on the "gun show loophole" they NEVER mention it covers private sales at a gun show. They completely omit the fact that probably over 99% of the sales at a gun show are done thru licensed dealers who do conduct background checks.
My post was to troll for someone to point out the fact that I didn't say anything about private sales (thank you) even though I repeated time and again that background checks are done at gun shows; which is something the MSM won't even do.
So it's no wonder that most Americans think that gun shows are nothing more than arms bazaars that sell to rednecks and terrorists as they never even explain the most obvious details.
And I must disagree with you on the fact that they are going after gun shows first. I think they need to get the private sales gone first (as that's their "gun show loophole"). That will make everyone who does a private transfer a criminal. They will have to go to gun shows or local dealers to get the deal done, which means all gun sales will be tracked. Getting them all into the system is the objective first. Then kill off the gun shows.
Off to go look for a new G29 for a truck gun :-)
Obama’s meaning of “common sense” is passing a law, or maybe even an Amendment stating that only law enforcement and federal entities may be armed, and that citizens must be disarmed.
That’s when it’s time to vote from the roofs.
You’re buying a gun tomorrow? You must be a bitter person. Do you cling to religion too?
/s

Would it be cheaper to purchase a new AR-15, get one off gunbroker.com, or buy one at a gun show? Manufacturer notwithstanding
I still don’t think he gets it.
The cheapest gun is going to be available from somebody who is anxious to sell it. If you can find a poorly-attended gun show and you wait until the last hour of the show and you can find a seller who is hoping to make his morgage payment by selling a gun, you might just get a good deal.
How about suggesting that the SS protecting B(57 states)HO and HRC hang up their firearms and only be armed with pepper spray. Unless one or the other is going hunting. Then they can be armed to the teeth, just like any other American. Or so I suppose.
Yer right.
Rumor has it the the A-1 was the inspiration for the A-10.
Oh yes! God is my copilot but Glock is my armorer ;)
Although, my fun guns are S&W snubs: 500, 460 and 29 :)
