‘We Already Do That!’: MRCTV’s Dan Joseph Demolishes the Left’s ‘Gun Show Loophole’ Myth
May 09, 2014
"They want to take your guns."
MRCTV’s Dan Joseph recently traveled to a gun show to “see how their safety and sales operate.” What he found is antithetical to the left’s claims about the so-called “gun show loophole.”
So what’s the process of buying a gun from a vendor at a gun show?
“You have to fill out a form 4473 for the federal government, and then the state police are on site here — but we also do a criminal and mental background check through our state police website,” one gun vendor explained.
For those who don’t pass those background checks, they will “more than likely” be arrested, he added. Gun dealers are also well within their rights to simply deny a sale if they feel it's necessary.
Another vendor told Joseph that gun dealers tend to be “ultra professional and very concerned” about who they are selling guns to — perhaps even more than they are legally required to be.
"We already do that!" a vendor said when asked about gun control advocates calling for background checks at gun shows. "They want to take your guns."
It should be noted that federal law requires licensed firearms dealers to conduct background checks. As the Washington Times notes, a "2001 Justice Department survey found 0.7 percent of state and federal prison inmates bought their weapons at a gun show."
