But the AP concludes, “Those measures … would have had no impact in keeping weapons from the hands of suspects in several of the deadliest recent mass shootings that have spurred calls for tighter gun control.”
That’s true enough, but the AP’s shorthand — and Obama’s — conveys a false version of reality: First, people selling guns at gun shows are almost exclusively licensed dealers, and the few who aren’t typically run their buyers though one of the dealers anyway. Indeed, many gun show organizers require it.
Second, online sales are already illegal unless the gun is shipped to a licensed dealer, who conducts a background check for a fee. |

| Typical Obama setting up a straw man and then solving the false problem by fiat. Has anyone ever heard of a person going to a gun show and buying a van load of guns and then selling them in Chicago. Both of those would be already a Federal Felony. Adding another law that is not enforced makes no sense. Did he talk about the illegal use of weapons by feral kids in Democratically controlled cities. Did he ask to put them in prison? Anderson Cooper even said it. Only 1% of criminals get their weapons at gun shows. Thus he is attacking what is now a legal gun sale by private citizen's . Yes, he does want to take our guns away. He is in favor of so called assault weapons ban. That is taking guns away. |
