THREAD: I hope we can pass meaningful #gunsafety legislation. Yesterday @realDonaldTrump seemed to strongly endorse universal #backgroundchecks, seemed open to an assault weapons ban & agreed with Dems that passing just Fix NICS is not nearly enough – we need to do a lot more.

SECOND- Allow for protective orders to temporarily disarm individuals who have shown credible signs of being a harm to themselves or to others;
Show this thread -
And THIRD- Debate banning assault weapons & limiting clips - if
@realDonaldTrump can get some Republicans to vote for these proposals, and he indicated openness to supporting them yesterday, we can pass it soon.Show this thread -
The
@NRA has had the GOP in a headlock for decades –but@realDonaldTrump could overcome their strength and finally get his Republican allies on the Hill to move to embrace some commonsense gun safety policies.Show this thread -
Today, I asked
@realDonaldTrump to listen to the cries of this country, follow through on his comments yesterday by endorsing these proposals, and pushing GOP leaders in Congress to once & for all buck the NRA and finally get this done.Show this thread

What is it going to take to get it through your head that there is not gunshow or internet loophole? Stop spreading your fake news

There is no gun show or internet loophole. Dumbass.
-
So you can't do a private sale, which requires no federal background check, at a gun show?
-
That has nothing to do with gun shows, though. If you make the same private transaction on your front porch is it now a front porch loophole? The issue Cryin' Chuck has is private sales, there is no such thing as a gun show loophole.
-
The term was dubbed the Gun Show loop hole because the private sales were occurring at gun shows. Seems like a good place to be if someone was interested in buying or selling gun.
-
There's been plenty of legislation introduced to close this loop hole, i.e. Gun Show Loophole Closing Act of 2017. So the Gun Show Loophole is a thing, just not as literal as perhaps it once was.
-
It's a private sale "loophole." There is not nor has there ever been a gun show loophole.
-
Derp, I'm not arguing whether or not the term exists, just that it is dishonest and misleading.

Ahh, that fictitious gun show loop hole that doesn’t exist. Spoken by somebody that’s never bought a gun at a gun show.

Why didn’t you do that in 2009 when Democrats held all 3 branches?

Gun show loopholes please go the Westchester county gun show and purchase a fire arm. Test the loophole with your own experience.
