If you cannot admit that the loopholes that allowed me to sell my gun to my sister without having to have a background check ran on her first are the same loopholes that allow criminals to purchase guns and use them on innocent women and children, despite having a history of domestic violence, you are being intellectually dishonest.

No, my sister's not a criminal. But it wouldn't have been the Worst Thing In The World for us to have had to go to a pawn shop and legally register the transfer after her background check passed.
