There is no loop hole. It's a private sale. That's what you get in a free market and in a Republic. Anything contrary to that is a step towards ending liberty.

Why is the NRA spending $40 million to complain about Obama's gun record? John McCain should get equal treatment.

In their survey of all 100 Senators, the pro-gun group Gun Owners of America gives McCain an "F minus" rating, describing him as an "outspoken anti-gun advocate who carries anti-gun legislation". Interestingly, Obama's F grade is one notch higher (that is, more pro-gun) than McCain's. Look up the article "John McCain is a Liberal Gun-Grabber" by Chuck Baldwin.

I asked about buying guns at a gun show from a vendor, they told me I had to be pre-approved (background check, etc.) before buying a gun, or I had to wait 30 days for the check to happen before my purchase could be shipped to me.

So thanks a lot, Mr. Flip-flopping RINO Juan McCain, and all others, for the propaganda.

Guns are like drugs, they come in through the black market and criminals will always obtain them. Silly GOVERNMENT>>>>Quit trying to screw the average American out his his or her rights.

Crooks buy on the street. Gun shows are crawling with ATF agents. Propaganda states that the guns at Columbine came from a gun show. This is true. Purchased by Kliebold and Harris? They were under 18 and unable to make the purchase. Most guns used in a crime have been obtained in an already illegal manner.

Because there is no loophole. If someone sell to a person from outside his/her state OR to someone who he/she suspects could not pass a check it is already illegal. Plus the fact remains few if any fire arms used in murders come from gun shows. From the latest FBI study "In contrast to media myth, none of the firearms in the study was obtained from gun shows." And street thugs who illegally carry guns are NOT affected by any current gun laws.

How the hell has this loophole NOT been closed yet?

I'm guessing there's still crime in Orgeon...

This is ridiculous, why would a criminal willing to threaten your life in order to rob you or take your car or even just murder... why would someone like that BUY a gun? Most crime is done by recidivists, these are people who have -already- broken into somebodies house or beat up a person. They're going to get guns by simply STEALING them. Like all these controls, this will only affect the law abiding not the criminals that idiots like this claim.

We did a sting at a gun show to see if we could purchase a firearm with a known crimmal ID and we were successful in purchasing the firearm. The dealer sold us a firearm with no paper work for an increased amount. The dealer was arrested and his license was revoked. There are some dealers that will go around the red tape.
