Joe Biden said you can buy any gun you want at a gun show without a background check.
Fact checkers say Biden's wrong because dealers are still required to do unconstitutional (illegal) FBI background checks on all the guns they sell at a gun show.
Scott Adams "fact checks" the fact checkers by making the claim that Biden was right-- you can buy any gun you want at a gun show just by finding a private individual who is selling the exact gun you want. No background check.
Here's why Adams is-- yet again-- wrong on guns.
Do you know what kind of guns you can't generally get in a private sale at a gun show (or anywhere)? The newest gun model, in brand new unfired condition.
You can get almost anything as long as you don't mind a used gun. You might even luck out and find an older gun in like-new, unfired condition, or a brand new model that someone bought but decided to not keep after firing a box or two of ammunition through it. But the chance of finding a brand new, unfired example of the newest thing is going to be as likely as finding a unicorn.
Do you know what other guns you can't get in a "background-checkless" private sale at a gun show? Anything illegally rationed by the 1934 NFA.
So, no, you can't buy any gun you want, at a gun show, without a background check. Joe Biden and Scott Adams were both utterly and completely wrong. Again. As anti-gun bigots and government-supremacists almost always are.
Kent,
ReplyDeleteThat used gun in your private sale scenario can't be a handgun if A). the state where the gunshow is regulates private handgun sales requiring an FFL or B). the buyer and seller are from different states (thanks to GCA 1968).
Someone really needs to school these people, before they get schooled hard with the outbreak of ACW2.
I'm surprised gun shows would even happen in such slave territory.
