7. Immoral people can take 10, 20, 30 guns to a gun show to sell -- as long as not on a regular basis.

They benefit from the gun show marketing, all the yahoos that go to the gun show an get excited over the smell of thousands of guns, etc. If you can't pass a background check, look for a gun show -- then, you don't have to deal with criminals on a street corner to get a gun.

That is a loophole that needs to be closed, as does allowing anyone to sell or transfer a single gun without a background check.

It is a loophole, no matter how you describe it. It's further evidence of how the gun culture obfuscates the facts of gun trafficking in this country. It is a mechanism for selling more gunz to more people. It's supported by NRA and gun nuts.

Time to close it, and be done with it.

But I was told there IS NO gun show loophole! rdharma Sep 2013 #2

Yes there is. One who doesn't sell enough guns to be deemed a dealer, can set up a table at a gun Hoyt Sep 2013 #5
