InHeavenThereIsNoBeer:
What I want to know is why they referred to Walmart as a "gun shop".

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?
