I’m confused. Every weapon my family members and friends have bought at the gun shows which come to my hometown several times a year was obtained only after completion of the same NICS background check done on me for the last gun purchase I made at a big local gun store recently.https://twitter.com/jonallendc/status/968543102377058304 …
If someone defined as a licensed dealer sells you a gun at a gun show, they have to perform a background check. But someone who is not a licensed dealer does, there's no such requirement. Maybe you're buying from licensed dealers?
