Quote:In Tennessee, a person selling guns at a gun show is considered a private seller if his or her main income source is not from gun sales, and if they are classified as a private seller no background check is required. I believe the same holds true in Florida. That's the loophole.

 

The thing is, you can go online and find a seller willing to sell as a private owner.  It's not the gun shows that spread illegal weapons.  It's people.

 

Me personally, and I would think that I speak for the vast majority of NRA members/permit holders of firearms, I would not engage in the sale/transfer of a firearm with somebody unknown.

 

The problem with the whole "gun control" thing is that it targets law abiding citizens and doesn't address the real problem, that being illegal guns.  I certainly doubt that the thug shooting down an opposing gang member bought his weapon at a gun show.
