I would hope/expect that there is work being done to improve the inter-agency coordination, in addition to this extended window proposition, so that we can prevent another Dylan Roof.
"Slippery slope is a logical fallacy."
That is what was said when the FIRST gun law was past. NOW we have OVER 20,000!
We constantly hear how much more the left is "educated" and we are just UN-educated deplorables yet, so many on the left can't figure out what "shall NOT BE-INFRINGED", means.

NICS checks are not an infringement until the SCOTUS says they are.
If that were true then there would be no need for the law, gun shows in NY are the same as they agreed that every gun leaving the grounds would have an NICS check. But there are private sales where they are not required. Why should some sellers bypass the process.
There is no such thing as a"loophole". Either there is a law or there isn't.
The NRA offers it with the Eagle Eddy program. But NO ONE on the left will allow it. They would rather their kids play shootem up video games.
I am specifically saying I would like if no one was able to own a gun before a full background check and passing a safety course, by a non political entity (ie, not one that lobbies like the NRA).
I am not giving an opinion of "the left". I am giving my opinion. Given how extreme right right wing this forum is, I know many will strongly disagree. That's fine, but again, this is my opinion. There is no meaningful downside to what I am suggesting.
That's exactly the point. Under current laws, a violent criminal just released from a lengthy prison sentence could walk into a gun show and walk out with a gun to re-offend, no questions asked. This is also the top destination for gangbangers to take trips down south, and come back with literal van-fulls of guns to sell on the street, all bought perfectly legally at gun shows because there is no background check required.
Ending the "gun show loophole" is just common sense.

That's exactly right, death by a thousand cuts. That's their intention.
