They must of missed it, maybe they will answer since it is back on the top.




Since gun shows and GUNS are so bad. If someone had the stats and could tell me how much more murders are committed at these shows

I thought it had to do with the background check and waiting time to buy guns.

The correct answer.....THERE ISN'T ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From a former FFL dealer.

Robertmac is correct. There is no "Gunshow" loophole.

There is nothing allowed within a gunshow that is not allowed outside a gun show.

When you buy a gun from a FFL dealer when in a gunshow, you still have to get a background check.

But if you buy a gun from an individual, there is no background check.

Just as it is outside of a gunshow.

As it should be. we have no waiting time in the black market on the street why should we have a waiting time for legil sales?

FBI wants eye scans, palm prints, and tattoo mapping
The FBI is creating a massive computer database of people's physical characteristics, which is part of an effort the bureau says to better identify criminals and terrorists. The FBI is spending $1 Billion to create the biometric database.
But it's unnerving to privacy experts."It's the beginning of the surveillance society where you can be tracked anywhere, any time and all your movements, and eventually all your activities will be tracked and noted and correlated," said Barry Steinhardt, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Technology and Liberty Project. "There are real consequences to people." You don't have to be a criminal or a terrorist to be checked against the database. The FBI biometrics is far more invasive than typical criminal background search online available to anyone from private companies. In the FBI biometric system mitakes are common. A 2006 German study looking at facial recognition in a crowded train station found successful matches could be made only 60 percent of the time during the day. But when lighting conditions worsened at night, the results shrank to a success rate of 10 to 20 percent.

Critics say people are being forced to give up too much personal information. But, in complete "double-speak," Lawrence Hornak, the co-director of the research center at West Virginia University, said it could actually enhance people's privacy. "It allows you to project your identity as being you," said Hornak. "And it allows people to avoid identity theft, things of that nature." So the government is marketing it as a "privacy enhancer." So don't worry, Big Brother Government is doing it for your own good.

I'll be glad to submit my eye scans, palm prints, and tattoo mapping "data" right after they get every last illegal immigrants "data"
