dk and crompin:
Just so I understand...
In those 30+ states where anyone, not just FFL registered dealers, can display and sell weapons at gun shows, including Crompsin selling a handgun from his private collection at a gun show in Virginia if he chooses, in order to pay bills....the buyer, who may or may not be a felon, should not be subject to a background check?
And that is not a loophole?

Evidently, federalism and states rights are at the foundation of beliefs for conservatives and libertarians except in the case of state or local actions that may limit gun ownership within the framework of the 2nd amendment.
