“Gun Show Loophole”
Libspeak for private sales. Long-arm (rifle and shotgun) transfers between citizens.
They seem to think (or like to perpetuate the idea) that that’s the way gun shows operate; it isn’t. Dealers selling firearms are required to do background checks through the NICS and PICS (in PA’s case) systems.
Maybe son private sales happen, but once again, very, very few crimes have happened with legally-purchased firearms.
Handguns - ALL handguns in PA - must go through the FFL transfer system.
Except of course the ones that are stolen out of people’s homes, or disappear from the police evidence lockers (you know, the “misplaced” ones)... which of course are the majority of those actually used in crime.
Basically they want a database of EVERY SINGLE legally-owned firearm in the country, and if course we all know WHY.
It must gall Libs every single day and moment of their lives to know that somewhere, some body is actually FREE and enjoying their life and not complying with their little acts of daily fascism and subversion.
