Nobody ever mentions buying from a dealer,

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.

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 :-)
