No Loophole

After the massacre in Las Vegas, "entertainer" Jimmy Kimmel went on an emotional rant against the 2nd Amendment on his show. 

Yes, the same Jimmy Kimmel who advocates that his daughter needs Obamacare, even though he is a millionaire with an option for group healthcare coverage. 

His 9+ minute sermon was laced with #Libtard talking points and fueled by raw emotion. Naturally, it was very short on fact.  Specifically for this post, Kimmel said there are "3 loopholes for background checks" - private sales, online sales, and gun shows. 

Private sales are exempt from background checks (as they should be) in most places.

Online sales are not exempt from background checks.  A gun ordered online must be shipped. Federal regulation requires a firearm to be shipped to a licensed gun dealer.  Federal regulation requires that for the firearm to be transferred (sold) to someone other than that dealer, a Form 4473 be completed and a successful background check performed. 

Now, if someone posts an online add for a gun, and the buyer and seller can meet locally, a face to face transaction can occur via private sale where permitted. But this is not an online sale. 

Third, the so-called "gun show loophole." Again, if a gun is owned by a dealer, then to be sold, we are back to the Form 4473 and a successful background check performed. And again, if one private individual has a gun at a gun show, and wishes to sell to another private individual, then that is permissible in most places. 

So, again, the #Narrative is chock full of lies and misleading statements.
