15. Even gun shows that have gun stores there have to do the same paperwork.

The gun store does not suddenly not have to do the paperwork at a gun show. Now yes there are probably people who ae not gun stores selling a gun there to a person. But the same way they can sell the gun at the gas station. Except some states, like Maryland all gun sales have to go thru a gun store, so every gun sold legally has a background check done. Illegal sales will always happen, does not matter what is being sold, someone will sell it illegally.

As for ghost guns, yes they are out there and a lot of em. I dont have the answer for this, or honestly a lot of stuff. In maryland they are illegal to own or buy.

I have been talking to legal gun owners lately, I am thinking about buying one. Ever single one I have spoken to, about 10, all state they follow the law fully, as they dont want to loose the ability to own guns.

To be upfront, I have been thinking about buying one, before I never have the chance. The reason for that is reading here, so many people pushing to ban guns. And the way the country is going I am thinking it might be better to have one locked away in case it ever comes to needing it.

I learned all this at a class a few weeks ago, it was basic gun class which I could not do the shooting portion because I did not have a gun to shoot.
