White House plans executive action to expand background checks for gun sales

White House officials are seeking a way to use executive authority to close the so-called gun show loophole that allows thousands of people to buy guns each year without a background check, but complicated legal issues have slowed the process.

“the so-called gun show loophole that allows thousands of people to buy guns each year without a background check”

In NC you get a back ground check on the spot at gun shows.

[ColdOne]

I know someone that bought a rifle in Cali at a gun show. It was at least 15 years ago. He had to wait weeks before he could go pick it up.

Also if any guns involved in mass shooting had been from gun shows we would hear it daily from media.

Remember, .44 and .45 are particularly vulnerable to being stopped by ballistic cloth.

Obama is lying, trying to pretend no terrorism on his watch, he is a dishonest ba*tard!

[faithhopecharity]

agreed !

(just as clarification, i did not refuse to vote against the Mormon... i felt he was probably a good man, just did not have the policies we really needed...so he wasn’t my first or second choice for the nomination...or third... but since he was the nominee, I supported him as being INFINITELY better than the IllegalInfiltratorInChief)

[TTFlyer]

I would give anything to see someone shove Obama’s pen and phone up his skinny, Marxist ass.

[Puppage]

I agree completely

and all gun sales, regardless of where they occur, must be authorized by the FBI

I'm not trying to argue with you, but in my experience that isn't the case.

I know of guns being purchased on a "face-to-face" basis all the time. Hand the cash over, take the firearm, shake hands, go your way.

My FFL buddy and I were talking yesterday about a couple tables at our local gun shows where the sellers have a placard up that says ALL SALES FACE TO FACE CASH ONLY.

They aren't FFL buyers or sellers and they don't do any background checks. My buddy says it may be a gray area (or maybe it's not) but those guys are there every year, sale after sale.

[steve86]

Yes, as a seller if the weapon has any history you might want to go through the FFL.

[TigersEye]

[The Toll]

Exactly. Those guys are not Federal Firearms Dealers and they are Americans selling their own private property. Which is what the government wants control of more than guns.

[technically right]

Good luck with that Barkey.

Jarrett: Obama Not ‘Lame Duck,’ ‘Really Big Things’ Coming

[machogirl]

Don’t know if posted (so much to read on FR) but Barry’s Earnest spokesman said, “White House: Obama Thinks Gun Control Will Deter Terrorists”. (Blatantly a LIE Barack)
Good Lord will this Country survive?

I’m not in the Executive Department so F him!

[Cheerio]

He believes that he has the power to deny us our constitutional rights.

He has already done it. Nobody (the GOP Congress) stopped him and in fact did just the opposite and fully funded him and gave him a blank check to raise the debt to whatever level he wants.

Their real objective is to shut down all private party transfers.

I think the links below disclose the RATS real objective - just like single payer health care was the real objective of SCOTUSCARE although hidden through RAT LIES.

Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton has said that the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment, that Australian style mandatory gun buybacks should be considered in the United States, and that she would implement new gun control through executive action. President Obama and Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton have both signaled support for “Australian-style” gun control, which is forced confiscation.

[Billthedrill]

Stop private sales without the permission of the government? It works so well with pot, doesn't it?

Silliness. Without registration this is absolutely unenforceable, a point that I'm sure will come up immediately after 0bama forces this through. But wait, nobody is talking about confiscation...except for a whole lot of people who are.

[Renegade]

Well, do ya think they know what we have in mind for them?
