Private sellers at gunshows?


Gonna go with the "gun show loophole" huh? The gun shows I've been to, the seller does a background check. How many background checks you reckon are done in "private" sales of stolen guns?

One of two things:

1. They have no idea but if sounds good; and/or
2. We want to take your guns

They mean “Let’s get this passed and then we will immediately start working on further restrictions against the second amendment”.

I don't know.

I'm still looking for that mysterious "gun show loophole" I keep hearing about. I'm tired of doing paperwork.

Once they can call it a “universal” background check they can then start to define and pack it with what they want universal to mean.

Sooner or later when the NRA is defined as a white nationalist “hate” group along with sons and daughters of confederate veterans and other groups you would be prohibited to own a gun if you were ever a member of these organizations.

Maybe a bit of a exaggeration but they would get to set the parameters of everything that disqualifies you under the term universal.

I'll be shocked if it didn't include a national registry.

I could guess that it’s probably a background check if you buy a gun from a private seller. I have bought many guns and have never not had a background check.


Actually, much more insidious than that.
To transfer any gun in any situation, you must complete a background check or the transfer is illegal.

Your father or mother or brother sister, etc suddenly dies. The guns cannot be transferred to the son, daughter, etc, because a background check was not done. Those guns are now illegal because the legitimate owner did not have a background check done.
The government confiscates those guns.

I would wager it has nothing to do with voter ID.

Their latest spin on closing the "gunshow loophole". Moronic but nothing new for gun-control advocates.

I'm not sure but it probably requires a photo ID. It sounds like something that could disenfranchise minorities.

And this can never happen - practically impossible.

Perhaps they could run a check on any weapon involved in a firearm crime and trace its ownership thru federal records and the last guy on the list needs to explain what happened with that particular firearm - If he sold it to some stranger then he may be held to some liability. If he sold/gave it to a friend/family member then go to that person as the last possessor of the firearm and repeat the process.

I am NOT in favor of unregulated/undocumented sale of firearms to unknown people without some sort of 'background check' - Need to be a responsible gun owner. If you are not a liscened dealer you DO NOT NEED to be selling firearms to the public at large.

NOW - when a leftist begins advocating for "universal background checks" you can bet that what they REALLY mean is "have you ever been a conservative or voted for a conservative??" as the root question they want to use as an excuse to disarm the rational public.

SO - I absolutely REFUSE to consider compromising on ANYTHING a radical leftist Democrat advocates for - regardless of the flowery language they use to 'justify' it - ALL DEMOCRATs at the moment are DISHONEST Bad Faith agents whose goal is subversion. Reject them wholesale.

Actually it doesn't matter what they say because it will be a lie. What they want is to take our guns from us and right after that our 1st Amendment rights would be kicked out the door also.
