It is illegal to sell to a resident out of state at a gun show or otherwise. And you also might want to look up the definition of dealer. People at gun shows are actively participating in the sale of firearms. They could easily fit the definition.

Didn't once disagree with any of this in this thread. I said guns can easily be illegally obtained (Fake IDs was an example how someone can purchase a weapon in a different state) and then legally take it with him/her across state lines.

I also said the Brady Bill federally covers licensed sellers with background checks, not unlicensed private sellers, many of which can be found at gun shows.

And no, a private seller selling a gun is not going to change gun crime so you can wail to close the "loophole" all you want. Nothing changes. BTW, it's also not a loophole because it's very intentionally that way. Think of the feds as MS and a gun the xbox-one games pre launch. 

Again, if you don't want to close the loophole, how do you curb school shootings in America? Do you believe school shootings are a problem? So far, you've been telling me the country shouldn't do something because it won't work. That's like saying making murder shouldn't be illegal because people will still kill.

lol the irony of this is killing me

what will you do when guns are banned and people resort to knives or homemade bombs?

will you then take away my ability to chop my carrots for my salad? or fertilise my crops so i'll have some food to put on my plate?
