to close the gun show loophole

[onethatcares]

all that needs doing is to have 500 black males over the age of 18 show up at each one and start buying.

you'll either see the bourse close or you'll see the largest letter to our representatives telling them that
gun shows should be regulated.

The Black Panthers, it might have bee Bobbie Seal or H Rap Brown advocated every black male buying a shotgun
at one time.

1. What loophole?

I keep hearing about a loophole, but still not sure what it is?

3. Private sales

40% don't go through any background checks.

The monicker comes from guys at gun shows selling out of pickups. Six states already closed it, to no ill effect.

5. It is not a loophole

Majority of states allow private party transactions, which by Federal law cannot use the the existing NICS background check system. This also includes gifts and inheritance.

The term "gun show loophole" is a pejorative term, but some like to use it. The guess is 40% of the firearms transactions are not checked. The reality is nobody knows.

If there was an inexpensive and easy way to run checks on private transactions, most gun owners would support it.

2. Lots of young minority males go to gun shows

Gun show attendees are predominately male, in my experiences, but ethnicity is as diverse as the surrounding communities.

4. here in sunny west coast Florida

they are one of the largest attracter of anyone wanting to buy just about anything firearmable. If you got the money, you got the gun.

I guess maybe I'm just getting so fucking tired of the guns, the concealed carriers, the confederate flag at the intersection of I75 and I4
near Tampa.

200 + fucking years and we've gotten to the point of shredding the social safety net and allowing bumpkins, yes I said bumpkins, the ablility to have hundred round capability.

Not to speak for Jesus but for Christs sake this shit is starting to get crazy.

6. The 2A is everyones right.

Why do you think blacks shouldn't own firearms?
