The Gun Show Loophole: Just Another Anti-Gun Lie

According to Al Jazeera, the firearm that was used to kill the two Brooklyn police officers by the man named Ismaaiyl Brinsley was purchased by another person and given to him, which is known as a straw purchase, and is illegal. Brinsley had been convicted of numerous felonies, which banned him from purchasing a firearm legally. Also, firearms can be purchased through what has become known to anti-gunners as the "private sale loophole." This "loophole" does not require a background check when purchasing a firearm from another private individual, unless in New York state. California has banned this act of private sales. All other states permit this action, however. One major argument that almost all anti-gunners make is the "gun show loophole" statement. According to them, anyone can walk into a gun show and purchase a firearm without a background check. What most people do not realize, though, is that gun shows contain both private sellers and licensed firearms dealers. All licensed dealers must perform background checks, just as they would any other day. It is the private sellers that use their own consciences on whether or not to perform a background check. So the whole "gun show loophole" saying is just another lie that anti-gunners like to use to make firearms purchasers look despicable and evil. Oddly enough, people who wish to ban all firearms (Diane Feinstein, I am talking to you), do not seem to realize that criminals will obtain firearms no matter what. More gun control will only limit the ability for the law abiding citizen to protect themselves, while the criminal gets a free shooting gallery until the police arrive. I do not know about you, but I would much rather carry fifteen rounds of .45 than wait 15 minutes for the police to arrive and stop the criminal because I did not have a firearm with me.
