Ah yes, the "gun show loophole", which says one doesn't need a gun license (FFL) to be a dealer at a gun show if one isn't actually selling guns.
1)The worst thing one can do if there's an intruder in the house is get a gun and apprehend them, and the best thing on can do is pretend to be asleep and wait for them to go away, especially if they are raping your children.

3)That firearms in the hands of private citizens are the gravest threat to world peace, and China, Pakistan and Korea can be trusted with nuclear weapons.
4)That gun control works, which is why there are no illegal weapons in Northern Ireland or Beirut.
5)That a handgun, with up to 4 switches and controls, is far too complex for the typical adult to learn to use, as opposed to an automobile which only has 20.
6)That a bank guard can protect money with a gun, but you cannot protect your children with one.
7)That people are too stupid to handle guns, but are intelligent enough to vote.

9)That we should ban guns because their primary purpose is to kill people, but we shouldn't ban alcohol, which has its primary purpose getting intoxicated and losing control of the higher faculties, thereby increasing violence and accidental death.

3)That a trauma surgeon's experience in treating gunshot wounds makes him an expert on gun control legislation, just like an automobile body repair technician's experience repairing cars makes him an expert on traffic laws.
4)That if an a group of anti-gun protesters feels threatened, they should ask police with guns to protect them while they tell everyone how worthless guns are for protection.
