    Why #holdthefloor? Violent felons & terrorists can purchase gun online & at gun shows w/o background check. Need UNIVERSAL background checks

      what makes you think a violent criminal will buy a legal gun anyway? How's that war on drugs going? I hear some are legal now?

      It is apparent you haven't read any of the existing gun laws. It is illegal to do as you state. I feel sorry for your voters

      violent felons are prohibited by law from purchasing guns anywhere. Why doesn't @DOJ prosecute? Too hard?

      Unless they purchase through an FFL holder. If you have knowledge of them doing so, then why haven't you contacted the FBI?

      Have you ever attended a gun show?! Demo lies about a "gun show loophole" are just that - lies! Background checks are stiff!

      Gun Show loophole is a LIE. Usual ignorance from left. You back unrestricted abortion while restricting 2A to law abiding ppl.

      Not true. Gun dealers require background checks even for gun show and online purchases. Get your facts straight.

      I buy guns online. EVERY TIME I have bought one I had a background check. Dealers have to transfer to an FFL.

      You're padding your narrative. Online purchases from dealers/other state require background checks/shipment to local dealer.
