in 2012 in okc an off duty officer who was working security at a gunshow suspected one of the guys who bought a firearm shouldnt have it called another leo who pulled over the vehicle he was in. found he was a felon.

in 2014 another guy was arrested for selling firearms and being a felon.

i have no problem doing a background check. they dont prevent me from owning firearms. and if you want to continue to own them then dont commit a crime.

it is cheaper to buy a firearm on arms list then the back alley.

I just re-read my copy of the Constitution and couldn't find the part about "if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear" anywhere.

Hell, I'll see your "no background checks" and raise you a "repeal the prohibition on felons in possession." It makes me sick to see situations like one of my clients', who is a little gal who caught a felony rap years ago for telling a cop her boyfriend's dope was hers, and now has a violently abusive ex stalking her and she is defenseless, because the State denies the right to self defense to that whole class of people, even those convicted of victimless BS. I'm not supposed to counsel people to break the law, but I told her to keep things in proper perspective regarding your life versus doing what the government tells you to.

Wow, didn't take you guys too long to lynch that member...

After reading his reply, I don't get the impression he's favoring universal backgrounds... I get the feeling that if the gov did pass such legislation, he wouldn't have an issue buying a gun.

I'm wondering if Obama is going to use an Executive Order to close the gun show loophole since the Dems got voted out? He could do that if he wanted to.

How could he do that? Or more specifically what portion of existing federal firearms law would give him the authorization to do so?

What specific action do you envision this executive order would direct the BATFE to do that would affect private transfers?

Yeah, you're right. He makes several very good points.

No, actually, he doesn't.
