[Spoonman]

If Oregon and Colorado closed gun show "Loophole" in Nov. 2000

Why are gun shows still being held in both of these states?

2. because the so-called 'loophole'

relates to sales of guns...not the show themselves...

[MrBenchley]

6. Next up....

The standard dishonest RKBA claim that there is NO gun show loophole...although the gun lobby spends millions each year keeping it wedged open...

7. I won't question your honesty if you don't

question mine...it's a difference of opinion (it seems) as to whether private parties should be subject to the same regulations as an actual business...

Have a good weekend

[MrBenchley]

10. I question the honesty of anyone

who tries to pretend something they are working hard to keep going doesn't exist...

[stopthegop]

12. oh well...

don't care what you think of me anyway....
agree to disagree...
enjoy the weekend

9. The term "gun show loophole" is gun-grabber propaganda

It refers to unregulated private-party transfers of used firearms and has nothing to do with gun shows per se.

11. I seem to remember a statement

"But a large number of the sellers at every gun show are NOT licensed dealers...and you damn well know it." MrB

I guess if this were true the gun shows would be basically falling to the wayside.

Didn't happen!

So if criminals got so many guns at these "loopole" festivals of selling guns to criminals, why is there still crime in both these states being committed by people that cannot legally own firearms?

What "loopole" are they using now?

Face it, it didn't do shit to stop crime, because it wasn't contributing to it in the first place!

15. Is that RKBA "logic" spoon?

""But a large number of the sellers at every gun show are NOT licensed dealers...and you damn well know it." MrB

Why? What the hell does one have to do with the other?

[Spoonman]

8. Ya think?

These shows by vast majority filled with licensed dealers.
They were never the flowing river of guns to criminals they were made out to be.

[MrBenchley]

13. Surrrrrre....

THAT's why the gun industry is fighting so hard and spending millions each year to keep that loophole open...because ALL those buyers can get past background checks...

Really, who do you think is dumb enough to buy that?

[Spoonman]

14. See post #11 and keep crying

that river of horseshit to idiots that can't add 2+2.

[MrBenchley]

16. Post 11 is laughable, spoon

17. If Bank Robbery Was Made a Federal Offense Back In The '30s......

...why are banks still getting robbed?

:-)

[MrBenchley]

18. Funny you don't see

the American Bankers Association spending millions to get bank robbery laws repealed...
