I just love the anti-gun people. Clearly, they have no idea what they are talking about. Either that, or they have never been to a gun show. All dealers, even at gun shows, are required to perform a background check. That's a FEDERAL law:
http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/the-so-called-gun-show-loophole-lies-damned-lies-and-statistics/ http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/the-so-called-gun-show...
"Under the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act—which created the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)—all federal firearms licensees are required to conduct a background check for all firearms transactions, even if they sell the firearm at a gun show. This is to make sure that the gun isn’t being sold to a person who is prohibited from purchasing a gun under Section 922(g) or (n) of Title 18 of the United States Code, which would include convicted felons, people who have been adjudicated to be severely mentally ill, and people who have been convicted of a domestic violence offense."
Also, keep in mind even if you passed all the stronger gun control laws exactly none of them would've prevented any of the current mass shootings, including the Aurora and Newtown incidents. If you want to stop these, you should start with addressing the mental health issue, instead of trying to tighten gun laws.
