Gun Show Loophole

Should Background Checks Be Required at Gun Shows?

Another firearms show is scheduled soon in Gwinnett. Share your thoughts.

With another gun show scheduled soon in Gwinnett County, it's time to note a significant feature of such events. Background checks apparently are not required in Georgia and several other states, according to available information. Large numbers of people flocked to the Gwinnett fairgrounds last weekend for a gun show. The current national discussion of gun control and safety (due to the December shooting in Newtown, Connecticut) was obviously a reason. However, it also appears to be easier to purchase a firearm in Georgia and other states at a gun show than through a traditional retailer. This is due to the so-called "gun show loophole." -- Should the "gun show loophole" be closed? What are your thoughts on gun rights? Share your thoughts…

Background checks at gun shows would pretty well shut them down, just what Obama and his world government UN cronies want.   more ›
