Thanks for the info.

I'm assuming that there IS a loophole, and some sales are legally made (ie - the 'gun show', and 'internet' sales), that do not now require a background check. The left is using these situations to create new controls that could lead to a 'gun registry', that might allow future confiscation. That is what must be avoided at all costs.

The left has legitimate ammunition to beat the right over the head with - if people can buy guns at a gun show without a background check, that does scare people. But the left is using this to implement their gun grab. Isn't the best way of stripping the left from it's 'ammunition' finding a solution that resolves the 'loopholes', and does it in a way keeping the federal government out of the solution?

As usual, the left is twisting the truth to fit its needs. Just like the “assault weapon” lie (there is no logical reason an “assault weapon” should have greater restriction than a standard semi-auto hunting rifle) - you cannot go to a gun show and buy a gun from any of the dealers there without a background check (at least not in my experience). It is possible to buy from the very few private parties selling a gun(last one I was at I saw 2 private sellers). It is no different than me selling my .22 to my neighbor. THAT is the loophole they are all agitated about - it is NOT a gunshow loophole, it is a private sale loophole. If they called it a private sale loophole, folks wouldn’t get as excercised about it. If they call it a gunshow loophole everyone has visions of all those hordes of people going to gunshows able to buy any gun without background check or restrictions. It is an intentional deception - in other words, a flat-out lie!

Any time a liberal says, “The sky is blue” verify that information for yourself!
