Tully, they always have been (to my knowledge).

It's no different than putting an ad in a newspaper for a private firearm sale, having someone come to your location and purchase the weapon. The current law does not force (at least in my state) that private owner to check the private purchaser. So, why should the exact same transaction suddenly require a check simply because it is conducted in a public place (gun show)? It's the same transaction (private to private sale).

And what does Tuscon have to do with it? By all accounts, this guy was checked at the store where he purchased. Whatsmore, his crime was months after the purchase. The seven day waiting period wouldn't have mattered either.
