McCain has differed from the National Rifle Association on some issues, said Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the NRA, who cited McCain's support for requiring background checks for people who make purchases at gun shows.

"That's one of the disagreements we've had," LaPierre told the Louisville Courier-Journal. "On the other hand, Senator McCain is the only one in the race that has a pro-gun record of any kind."

I'm so tired of this "background check" BS being mischaracterized by the press. I just have to wonder if it's really due to stupidity rather than being devious as the law as it stands gets quoted time after time after time.

Purchases at gun shows across the US are subject to background checks. No ifs, buts, hunting, fishing, tyranny or anything else. One more time for clarity for our presstitute friends:

PURCHASING A GUN AT A GUNSHOW IS SUBJECT TO A BACKGROUND CHECK.

Perhaps I'm just not putting it right.

IF YOU WANT TO BUY A GUN AT A GUNSHOW, YOU MUST UNDERGO A BACKGROUND CHECK.

Think they understood that? Nah. Me neither. But, I do have a gunshow to go to tomorrow. Yay!!!!! And I may buy a gun at the gunshow or outside of the gunshow!!!

Only if you buy from a licensed dealer. Your state may have different laws, but federal law only requires the check if you buy from a federally licensed dealer. That's the same if you buy at a gun show, or in a gun or pawn shop. Just as you do not need to have the check if you buy a gun from a person who is not a dealer, whether you do it in his house, your house, or at a gun show.

You’re buying a gun tomorrow? You must be a bitter person. Do you cling to religion too?
