Politicians like Bloomberg like to tout the
loopholes in the
law as they relate to gun shows, but it pays to dig
a bit
deeper. Dealers are required to perform NICS
checks - even at
gun shows. Private individuals are not. So if you
show up to
sell a gun, there is no requirement for a NICS
check. So - gun
shows are not exempt from background checks.

So the loophole is a little more complicated. The
dealer just
has to sell the gun to a bystander who would not
fail a
background check. This individual can then just
sell the gun
to someone who would fail a background check. I
seem to recall
a TV report from one of the major networks, where
there were
plenty of people willing to sell a gun to someone
who wouldn't
pass a background check. I thin those sales should
be
officially illegal. Period.



Do you ACTUALLY think this is what gun buyers do?
Have you so
little regard for shooter in the US that you think
they
intentionally peddle weapons to people they know are
unstable or
criminals? Gun owners are - on the whole - among the
most law
abiding straight arrows you'll ever find. It's the
media that are
the criminals ... for telling lies and getting people
to buy into
those lies....

...and carrying illegal weapons in DC.

I indeed think that CNN reporter should be issued a
summons and if
found guilty, he should NOT get off easy. Obviously if
he had a
cardboard copy, that may be an extenuating
circumstance. I also
think that (if he had a real working magazine) the
person who gave
or sold it to him should go to jail.

Btw, while it may have been legal to publish all those
names and
addresses of legal firearm owners in Westchester and
Rockland
counties, it was at least highly unethical. That
newspaper editor
and journalist need to go for aggravated stupidity.

Perhaps it would even the score to publish the names and
addresses
of all those folks who had no firearms?

This was (I read this, but didn't check) published as a
map. So
every home not listed as having a registered gun owner
had either a
homeowner without a gun, or with an illegal gun. When
you go out
harvesting loot, pray you pick the "right" home ...

That idiot reporter should be hung out to dry ...

Double for the editor and publisher.

Well, they are finding out that it works both ways.
This was done by a blogger. The old media will just have to
learn that they are
not the only ones with a big stick anymore.
