| killerzX said: im all for stronger background checks at FFL's, but transactions between 2 lawful citizens is no business of the government. anyway only about 2% of criminals got their guns at a gun show. so its really not a problem to begin with. and when i say myth i mean in that its not a 'loophole' nor does it have anything to do with gun shows. this goes for all private transactions of things at shows or at your house. |
well that all depends on what is being sold: in the recent days after the newtown tragedy, many states had gun buy-backs programs, one person traded in a military grade RPG!!! that thing looked straight out of Call of Duty(lol) I'm pretty sure that's not something a U.S. cirizen is allowed to own(correct me if I'm wrong) and another if you ever watched "Borders Wars" a man was arrested after trying to transport weed along with two .50 caliber sniper rifles(I think they had enough power to shoot through tanks or atleast military Humvees)
as for the two percent, with the right laws it could be a "goose egg"
as for the "loophole" arguement it really depends on what side of the fence you're on; people who buys guns at gunshows then sell them could be considered unlawful depending on what state you in. I believe in states like California Connecticut I think New York. you could be charged if being caught selling a gun without some kind of authentication. and it depends on what gun you're selling, they're certain guns allowed and not allowed in certain states.
