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 "gun show loophole".
That's just a name the anti gun Left made up to make the exception for private transfers sound bad.
The exception for private transfers is not a "loophole".
It exists by design and for good reason.
It's what allows a father to give his kid a 22 for Christmas.
It's why a husband can buy his wife a revolver for personal protection.
It's why hunting buddies can trade shotguns if they want.
It's why you can inherit your grandfather's collection of historical firearms.
All without the government interfering with the hassle and violation of 2nd amendment rights that is a background check.
And the exception for private transfers exists anyplace.....
Under the Christmas Tree.....and at a gun show.
(Gun shows don't have to allow private transfers on the property though....many do not).
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.
Fair enough.
You're completely within your first amendment rights to state your opinion.
There is a long history of gun ownership in my family (most are in TX) All of them don't mind gun checks of some sort... or at least some closure of loopholes.
I understand the argument "Criminals don't obey laws only law biding citizens do.". If that were the low bar of justification, then that same argument can be used to eliminate almost all laws and regulations.
