In reply to the discussion: An explanation, from a gun nut. [View all]EX500rider
(10,842 posts)88. "Also, what about the gun show loopholes in terms of background checks?"
Actually there is no "gun show loophole" You can not rent a table at a gun show to sell guns with out a Fed firearms license and back ground checks. There is a "private sales" loophole where a person can go to a gun show and sell their gun in the parking lot to some one else but they can do that anywhere. Some times they do enter the show and walk around inside looking for a buyer but they pay to get in and do not have a table for sales.

News flash! When some son-of-a-bitch kills 20+ children in a school, that is an act of terrorism.
