"If you buy a gun from a federal firearms licensee like Academy or Joe’s Gun Shop, their license requires them to run a background check on you," she says. "But private sales are not regulated at all, you and I could sell guns to each other and there’s no background check required. It's a huge loophole."
They really like that term, "loophole," don't they?
THERE IS NO LOOPHOLE.
The Constitution delegates to Congress the power to regulate commerce. Private sales are not commerce, and there is no enumerated federal authority to regulate them.
The answer to the question, whether anybody likes it or not, is "NO. You can't do that." |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
