...and to add a bit more. The gun shows that I’ve been to ALWAYS have cops there...watching everyone, which is why bad guys prefer not to be there. Much easier to buy on the street, with no one watching, which is what they do.
Another domestic enemy has identified himself

First, Comstock is a fake Republican.
“2006 all over again. Democrats will be shamelessly lying about everything to get elected.”
Very true, but gun control is a losing argument for them. I don’t know why they’re using this unless some focus group told them that it plays well in that district.
And so he'd like more background checks. So, how will that make anyone safer when (1) the government doesn't prosecute people that lie when they buy and (2) none of the recent murderers would have been prevented from buying by a background check.
Methinks ole Dan needs to reread that second ammendment. It should be very easy to purchase a firearm.
So what is the law in Virginia? Can anyone walk in off the street and purchase a firearm? In my state (Washington) you can purchase a firearm at the show - as long as as you’re a member of the hosting association (The Washington Arms Collectors (W.A.C.)).
Otherwise you can look but not buy.
How so?
So far, none of these mass killers bought their guns at gun shows....incl Hasan, the Muslim duo in Ca, the Muslim duo at the gay saloon, the theatre nutcase, the dude who shot the Congress woman, the Ct school shooter, this latest hit where LE hid behind their vehicles, etc etc
Do House Democrats background check Pakistani spies?
As far as I know, no “mass shooter” has EVER used a legally purchased semi-automatic rifle that was bought without a background check at a gun show.
Also, the FBI statistics are unhelpful on semi-automatic rifle murders. They only have national statistics for “Rifle” murders, which are usually about 300 per year.
Excluding gang murders and mass shootings, I'd be surprised if more than 100 Americans (less than 1% of murder victims) are murdered each year with an AR-15 style weapon.
They intend to confiscate our means of self-defense by any method possible, just as those British troops did at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. We need to stand firm against this rabble of lying liberals.
In some states individuals can sell firearms to another individual without using the background check. This is not breaking news and it is not where most criminals obtain their weapons, but this person is simply trying to scare people into voting for him, even if he is being dishonest about the weapon he bought.
If that is what you want in your state, run for the statehouse and make it happen.
Some states already force background checks because that is what they wanted.
That what the 10th amendment is all about.
Utterly irrelevant when the opposition is a Peloise clone extreme left clown like this.
If he really did this then he probably bought it from a private person who is eliminating his guns by renting a table. THAT is not illegal. That or a person offering to buy or sell one in the parking lot. It is considered PRIVATE PROPERTY.
No different than me trading a firearm to a working companion.
Anyone remember the old Gun and Dog Trading Days on the County Square around the Court House? That was before the Fainthearts took over.
“First, Comstock is a fake Republican.”
As a resident in her northern Virgina district, she’s far better than the real Democrat authoritarian socialists she runs against. A good that wins is better than a perfect that fails.
Would he care to explain why in the hell the environmental protection agency and the bureau of land management need machine guns and grenade launchers to carry out their duties protecting the environment and managing land?
Can he explain what environmental, land management or for that matter law enforcement function requires a machine gun?
And did he report how many crimes have been committed by guns purchased in that manner?
