'Gun Violence Prevention Activist' Walks into FL Gun Shop, Asks for Something That Will Kill 200 Peo
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer:
What I want to know is why they referred to Walmart as a "gun shop".

A reputable licensed gun dealer, like a reputable owner of a liquor store, has an incentive to police sales since he risks losing something very valuable to him - his license.

You've been told I don't know how many times that gun shows require background checks, but you keep on posting that leftist canard. You are either not paying attention, or you are lying to a crowd of people who know better.

I type in real time, and if I misrepresented the facts regarding transactions at gun shows, I apologize. I don't frequent such events.
But my point remains valid - private sales should be effected through the medium of a licensed gun dealer, because the gun dealer has an economic incentive to police the transaction
Here is a statement that I found on-line:
--- Quote --- Currently, federal law requires background checks (through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System) only for guns sold through licensed firearm dealers, which account for 78% of all gun sales in the United States.

Do you disagree with it? Facially, it appears that 22% of all gun sales do not involve background checks. What is your objection to closing this loophole?

Only if it can be done in a manner that doesn't make felons out of otherwise law-abiding people. I've yet to see a scheme that doesn't do that, but I'm open to suggestions.

Well, what about the suggestion I just made? Require all private sales to be effected through the medium of a licensed gun dealer. What is impractical or unreasonable about that?
