You don't seem able to comprehend the "gun show loophole." It's not just
a loophole for gunshows, either. When I sold my SIG to a Virginia buyer
in Virginia, I called the VSP to find out what I needed to do to make
the transaction kosher. "Individual to individual, we don't care" was
the response. I went through an FFL.

I am not sure who you talked to in the VSP but it is a violation of
that federal law I cited to sell a gun to a person from another state
and it is illegal to buy one from another state without at least one
FFL involved in each state.. That has been true since 1968.



Right. The problem is that with no requirements for background checks
or transaction reporting of private sales, who's gonna catch 'em?
Money is exchanged, gun is transferred with no records kept.

Talk about naive.

How would another law stop them? Who would catch them if they didn't
report the transaction? You reckon all those folks in Chicago, etc.,
would start reporting transactions?
