I'm no liberal but WTF !!!!

There should be no restrictions on ownership, sale, commerce of
firearms. Period.

No one should be restricted from buying or selling a firearm. Period.

Why can't you fucking liberals read the constitution and understand that?
 
Quote from bigarrow:

Do all the guns sold at gun shows require a background check?

EDIT: Is a background check required for purchase of all guns sold at gun shows?

Apologies to my English teachers.

Myth: Gun shows are supermarkets for criminals
Fact:Only 0.7% of convicts bought their firearms at gun shows. 39.2% obtained them from illegal street dealers.
176
Fact:Fewer than 1% of “crime guns” were obtained at gun shows.
177
This is a reduction from a 1997 study that found 2% of guns used in criminal offenses were purchased at gun shows.
178
Fact:The FBI concluded in one study that no firearms acquired at gun shows were used to kill police officers. “
In contrast to media myth, none of the firearms in the study were obtained from gun shows.”
179
Fact:Only 5% of metropolitan police departments believe gun shows are a problem.
180
Fact:Only 3.5% of youthful offenders reported that they obtained their last handgun at a gun show.
181
Fact:93% of guns used in crimes are obtained illegally (i.e., not at gun stores or gun shows).
182
Fact:At most, 14% of all firearms traced in investigations were purchased at gun shows.
183
But this includes all firearms that the police traced, whether or not they were
used in crimes, which overstates
the acquisition rate.
Fact:Gun dealers are federally licensed. They are bound to stringent rules for sales that apply equally whether they are selling firearms from a storefront or a gun show.
184
Fact:Most crime guns are either bought off the street from illegal sources (39.2%) or through family members or friends (39.6%).
185
Myth: 25-50% of the vendors at most gun shows are “unlicensed dealers”
Fact:There is no such thing as an “unlicensed dealer,” except for people who buy and sell antique–curio–firearms as a hobby (not a business).

Geez I don't know if you answered my question or not, too long of a rant, you must be wanting to read your own words, a simple yes or no would of answered the question.

The Constitution doesn't say that. Perhaps you should read it yourself.

Documented studies and facts are...rants? Really?

To my knowledge as Magna ALREADY pointed out all firearms sold at gun shows by FFL's require exactly the same documentation/background check required anywhere else.

And according to those lengthy <s>statistical facts</s> uh "rants" there IS NO gun show problem.

I think he was attempting to be sarcastic.

No one is saying convicted murderers or people who have recently been to terror training camps should be able to buy guns.

Maybe you should read it dipshit. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?
