If Guns were Regulated as Cars?!!

no such thing as a gun show loophole.

Really? What's this?

Unfortunately, current federal law requires criminal background checks only for guns sold through licensed firearm dealers, which account for just 60% of all gun sales in the United States. A loophole in the law allows individuals not “engaged in the business” of selling firearms to sell guns without a license—and without processing any paperwork. That means that two out of every five guns sold in the United States change hands without a background check.

Though commonly referred to as the “Gun Show Loophole,” the “private sales” described above include guns sold at gun shows, through classified newspaper ads, the Internet, and between individuals virtually anywhere.
 
again, no gun show loophole.

Cool. How's this not a loophole?

Unfortunately, only six states (CA, CO, IL, NY, OR, RI) require universal background checks on all firearm sales at gun shows. Three more states (CT, MD, PA) require background checks on all handgun sales made at gun shows. Seven other states (HI, IA, MA, MI, NJ, NC, NE) require purchasers to obtain a permit and undergo a background check before buying a handgun. Florida allows its counties to regulate gun shows by requiring background checks on all firearms purchases at these events. 33 states have taken no action whatsoever to close the Gun Show Loophole.

What has it to do with the price of rice in China?

The reality is, in a state with universal checks (note that CO is one of those six states) the guy was able to obtain the weapons without any problem.

Neither would denial have stopped him from killing people. Just one of his bombs at his house could have likely killed the entire theater.
 
All those cars on the roads, yet "in ten states gun deaths actually outpace motor vehicle deaths".


Arizona: 856 gun deaths, 809 motor vehicle deaths
Colorado: 583 gun deaths, 565 motor vehicle deaths
Indiana: 735 gun deaths, 715 motor vehicle deaths
Michigan: 1,095 gun deaths, 977 motor vehicle deaths
Nevada: 406 gun deaths, 255 motor vehicle deaths
Oregon: 417 gun deaths, 394 motor vehicle deaths
Utah: 260 gun deaths, 256 motor vehicle deaths
Virginia: 836 gun deaths, 827 motor vehicle deaths
Washington: 623 gun deaths, 580 motor vehicle deaths


Huh. Aren't these the same states with high numbers of militia groups?

That is incredible!
 
Question: If a person is required to have a permit to carry a gun how are they able to transport the gun from the gun show or from a private sale to their own home?
 
Nothing. It has to do with the comment that there is no gun show loophole. Try to keep up. ;)

The name is a bit misleading. The fact that sales between private citizens is unregulated is not quite a loophole. If you want to try and regulate every sale between every citizen, then pass a law. Because the laws that require background checks are specifically for dealers, not private citizens.

I love gun show purchases. Cash transactions and the gobblement knows nothing about what I own. Just the way I like it
