No law will stop everyone with bad intentions from getting their hands on a gun, but if we can cut down the number who do, then I'm for it.Using this logic, we can "cut down the number" of people who suffer complications from abortion by restricting them more.Here's the thing, Misty,What you are calling the "gun show loophole" is actually free citizens conducting free trade with one another. A basic freedom, a basic right.Let's say that you and I live near each other, and like to go shooting together every couple weeks. And say that one of those times you show up with a new gun, say a Ruger LCP, and you find you can't hit diddly squat with it. But I can. Say you also really like my gun, and can shoot bulls eyes nearly every time with it.Should we be allowed to trade guns and go our way, or should we be forced to ask the federal government for permission?
