[QUOTE="Hank77, post: 74221613, member: 378311"] We talk about the gun show loophole being sellers selling guns in the parking lot but not inside the actual show; clearly this isn't the case in AR. This man had tables in the gun show and was legally selling guns without a background check. [I]Linck, who later said he doesn't identify with either political party, supports closing the so-called gun-show loophole and requiring background checks for all gun sales. "I have tables here, but there's no background check," Linck told O'Rourke, a former Texas congressman. O'Rourke asked him whether Linck would accept a requirement that gun-show sellers like him get a federal firearms license, and Linck responded he would.[/I] Another man, a Republican gun owner, said.. [I]Their political differences aside, Beaver said he told O'Rourke, "I respect you for talking to me." "I saw him walk by and said 'wow what's he doing here?" Beaver said as he recounted their conversation. He even said he might be willing to support O'Rourke's assault weapons buy-back plan -- so long as he got a fair rate and "the rest of America takes a part in it" too. For his part, O'Rourke told ABC News, he felt he "learned something by listening to him." "We're not going to get this done until we include everyone in this conversation," O'Rourke said. "You're never allowed to write anybody off because they're a Republican, because they're a gun seller, because they're at a gun show." [/I] Laws are different in different states. I solidly believe in states rights, but it seems to me that because of interstate transportation of guns and the cost to both human life and actual economic cost to communities through gun violence, it may be time for tougher federal gun laws.
