>>Not exactly true. Any licensed gun dealer at a gun show has to do background checks. Only private citizens can sell guns without a check. Of course, private citizens can sell/buy guns anywhere without background checks.

>>>No background check at gunshows or on the internet either. It's a huge problem that obviously our senators would rather avoid so their campaign contributions don't dry up from the NRA. At the end of the day it has nothing to do with protecting people or gun safety - it has to do with dirtbag politicians run by the NRA who in turn spew this other stupid crap trying to convince people that we don't have a problem.
