So are you saying you have been to a lot of gun shows?

It is unreasonable to ask someone to prove a negative.

A negative would be them saying prove it doesn't stop criminals. These idiots claim background checks stop criminals from getting guns. That's not a negative that is a claim they need to back up. They can prove it or shut up.

In Baltimore....

Baltimore County Police Chief James Johnson said Wednesday that the current background check system has already stopped nearly 2 million "prohibited purchases" between 1994 and 2009.

They don't have to deal with background checks because there are none! Why is this concept so hard for you to grasp?

Every gun I have bought from a gun show required the same checks that buying from a gun store did. I am not sure where you are getting your info.

BTW I didnt see any anti gun comercial last night did I miss it?

Then you are purchasing from FFL dealers at thier booth. Are you claiming that a large amount of guns are not sold privately at gun shows??? You are saying that private sales don't occur at gun shows???

Inside a gun show and with sellers at booths you follow the same regulations as if it is a store.

Buying from private owners is the same as if I was at his house or mine.


Are you telling me you want to regulate private sales?

All gun sales should be regulated.

Rather than cite stats and well...reality where gun owners, FFl dealers, gun enthusiats and everyone else explain private sales at gun shows...maybe simple video will help?

19 out of 30 private sellers at the gun shows...where the undercover buyer even said "I wouldn't pass a background check"...sold to him anyways....and all of them were cash and carry...no background check

False...see above...unless you mean only FFL Dealers at gun shows...which constitute only a portion of the booths...see above

Then we totally disagree.

Some of that video is totally bogus and heavily edited. Some guys didn’t want to sell because he said he probably couldn’t pass that is ambiguous language open to interpretation. The edited part that mentions fully auto like they could but it without a check and that is completely false. No one can buy an assault weapon without the proper paperwork. Contrary to what some have been told an assault weapon is either fully auto or burst select capable it is not based of looks. They used to say assault weapon style now they are trying to move the bar anyway that not going to work for the educated.

Anyway different states do have different rules on private owners at booths. You can’t sell but maybe 10 or so as a private owner here at a gun show per year. With pistols they still have fill out transfer paper. Remember rifles do not require background checks.

They say BS like this all the time, prove it! They can't and won't because they know feeble minds will buy this BS just because they said it.

As far as background checks go...its a slippery slope but I don't think that any responsible retailer would knowingly sale a weapon of any kind to a person that has a background of violence...I mean I am extremely pro-gun and 2nd amendment but wouldn't lend any of my firearms to someone I knew to be violent let alone sale it to them.

This is just responsible gun-ownership behavior as well as responsible sales/merchant conduct...

the slippery part about this is that it gives the government a foot in the door in regards to regulating the 2nd amendment...its an inch...and they want a mile. Not only that but there seems to be some violation of privacy here as well.



I guess ultimately though,

I have purchased three firearms at a gun show before. Two did the full background check from a licensed dealer, one was a private sell and did not require a background check. We did both confirm that we were both Ohioans and over 21 (not that either of us could pass for under 21) at the time of purchase.

That particular firearm was even a military grade weapon...an AR7. Which is a takedown 22LR stored under the ejector seats of jet fighters so the pilot has a weapon suitable for hunting small game should they have to bailout. Its purpose for me is to be a backpack weapon for a BOB. Which is essentially its military purpose as well.

Could I go shoot up a school with it if I were that kind of person? I suppose, but the two 8 round mags really limit the duration of any sort of shooting spree. As for use in any other type of crime other than a short range sniper (being that it is a 22LR after all) would easily be defeated by anyone with a presence of mind to grab the barrel followed by a kick or punch with a the free hand. Which is why rifles are not used in common stick ups...that and hard to conceal.

Can a FFL holder do a private sale? Absolutely, provided the firearm is their privately owned property and was never inventoried as part of their stock for sales. This would also require that it was never transferred to them directly from out of state where they had to use their FFL number for the transfer.

I'm a big proponent all American Civil rights!

Being a minority and the proud papa of two young daughters I'm one of those in your-face don't tread on me kind of guys.
Personally I don't see a problem with the background check system we have now.

I mean I just bought a new Sig P250 Subcompact Nitron w/signite sights to be my new CCW. took longer to swipe my bank card than it did to do a background check. okay maybe it took a little longer but not by much. I have nothing to hide so it means very little to me. especially if it keeps weapons out of the hands of the bad guys!

But and I've said this on other threads... the problem we have has never been firearms it's a lack of proper mental health care. The school shooter and the guy who shot up the theater in CO were both psycho and from reports I read a lot of warning signs were dismissed or simply ignored.

I'd no more hand the keys to my truck to a nut job any more than I would one of guns.
the answer to this problem is not gun control but something far more harsh as in what do we, as a society do with potentially violent mental health patients who go untreated and are left to their own devices.

Do we go back to the old days where we locked them up?
