OK, this was the part I was mis-understanding. Thanks for the clarification!txmatt wrote:And to be clear we are only talking about non-FFL transactions. Any dealer at a gun show still has to run a check and fill out the paperwork, which is something the liberals tend to forget.

Am I anti-gun?
As of this moment (until someone can show me what I am missing), I think that requiring background checks at gun shows is a good thing (for non-CHL holders). Why is this an anti-gun stance?? I think sacrificing 15-20 minutes of time to fill out a form and have the guy call in my information is worth it to keep a felon from just walking in and buying a gun.
I've tried to think of a couple of scenarios where background checks might be a problem (i.e. someone who is completely legal to buy a gun might be unfortunate enough to have the same name as someone who is barred and the gun-show won't be around 3 days later when their background check clears), but I keep coming back to the opinion that it is a good preventative measure.
I know I am obviously not anti-gun (it's just the best title I could come up with).
I would really just appreciate some insight on why this is considered an anti-gun stance.
