    Call it a “private sales loophole”. It’s more accurate, and covers what you would actually want covered.

    A big issue with gun control, outside of the NRA being a huge grift, is that gun control advocates have no idea how guns work and what current laws actually do. They often confuse things that are truly dangerous with purely cosmetic features.

      Well even the most profoundly stupid person can see the most important thing American gun laws do; fail on a daily basis.

          Hey if you want us to ban things that actually help, I’m all for it. Should we start with semi-automatic weapons or handguns?

            If that’s what you want, start arming African Americans and LGBTQ+ folk. The GOP will be falling over themselves to ban guns then.

              No they won’t. They’re paid $16 million a year to make sure nothing interferes with the profitability of the gun lobby. It’s why the price doubled after Sandy Hook.

              Armed minorities aren’t a threat to anyone they care about and if it gives police more excuses to execute them in the street, that’s a few less democrat voters.

              If guns actually made the public safer, America would be the safest country in the world by a wide margin.
