all he did was blabber about everything but guns.

I don't understand why the NRA can't support a national database regarding to gun ownership and previous crimes to those applying for gun when a recent poll did by an MSNBC or CNN affiliate said that 74% of people belonging to the NRA club said they would support such measures.


So what is the current background check system?


at all depends on which state live in, ironically in Connecticut where the latest tragedy took place has one of the most strict guns laws in the states when applying for guns in the state of CT. but in other states(mostly midwestern states) you can walk right into a gunshow and buy a gun with no backround check whatsoever

I can't confirm this statiastic myself but since I heard it on the HLN/MSNBC/CNN I'm going to say it holds some water; they said that 40% of all guns bought in the U.S. are bought with know backround check at events like gunshows/pawnshops/internet/etc.


Thats because "gunshow loophole" is nothing more than an acknowledgement that the Federal government has no Constitutional basis what-so-ever to mandate who you sell your private property to, especially if you keep it within your state. 

There is no gun show loophole. It is a myth. Any two consenting adults can privately do business WITHOUT government interference. If I want to sell you a Spacely Cog, it is not the Governments business.
