so if you sell a firearm to a family member, not thru a dealer, is that a loophole, or just a hole,,, or loop,,,?Why are you convoluting this? It's not a TV or a broom.
The buyer was not able to buy a gun through channel A (dealer and NICS/4473 route), so he goes through channel B (local FTF sale, seller unaware of his background and not obligated to run a background check).
In Webster's definition of a loophole: In this case, the obligation to be purchase-eligible (that is, to be able to pass a background check whether one is run or not).
Simple question: what is the intent of listing him in NICS? To keep him from buying guns from dealers or to keep him from buying guns at all? We understand the limitations, that the reach of NICS is finite. I'm asking you: what is the intent?
loopholes are buzz words that folks use to help others think they are something that needs to be taken care off,,
facts still stand,
your property is your property,
until the gov't says you have to go thru a dealer, your firearm is no different than your broom, tv, car, etc etc,
you can sell it to anyone,,

Lyman,
The loophole is that a buyer otherwise excluded by NICS can evade it by engaging in a FTF sale with a seller who is not legally obligated to run a background check. The key is the evasion. A FTF sale to someone who would not be excluded by NICS is not said to be exploiting the loophole because there is no evasion. The evasion is the key. It is correctly described as a "FTF loophole", but not all FTF sales are illegal, obviously.
To use both nails and glue, the definition of loophole being:
a means of escape especially : an ambiguity or omission in the text through which the intent of a statute, contract, or obligation may be evaded
Not a buzzword. An actual word with a meaningful definition. And you didn't answer my question about what the intent is of listing people in NICS as no-buys.Last edited by togor; 09-04-2019, 10:40.Comment

in theory, listing him in NICS would alert the Gov't the next time he or anyone listed attempted a buy (from a dealer or individual in those states that require it) and again, in theory, he would be picked up and prosecuted for such,
not sure how many are denied that are or should be picked up
(I don't think all deny's require prosecution,, but not sure)Comment

you apparently (must be part of your clinical background?) associate drawers with some sexual issue??
maybe you need to spend more time on a range?
the red flag waved across the target by a marker on the target range when a shot has completely missed the target; a miss when scoring targets… See the full definition
it is also a name sometimes given to a red flag that some ranges run up a pole to indicate the range is hot (hot as in being used, not sexually)
and BTW,, I don't think the Nazi's used the same terms

Well Lyman if you were/are a reader of the NRAs American Rifleman Magazine you might remember that 2 1/2 years ago the NRA wrote in that magazine that background checks were a waste as "most" gun crimes were committed using either a stolen firearm.... or one provided by a friend or family .
At that time I posted here on Culvers that if that was fact ... then perhaps a lot of friends and family should under go a background check ....
as usual I got my ass handed to me by the "members" here at CulversComment

I stepped on my first gun range in 1964 and have been shooting since then. I have reloaded every case from .25ACP up to the large ones, I quit counting loaded rounds @ 1 million! Had to return my 550B to Dillion as the frame broke due to use age @ 300,000 rounds. Been teaching handgun for 50 years and reloading for 40. Been casting lead for 45 years starting with the smoke pole. Was in black powder cannon at one point, fun but very expensive. Met and knew many of the early ones of our shooting sports, most notably was my family friend Bill Large. Major George Nonte was also one I learned much from as well.you apparently (must be part of your clinical background?) associate drawers with some sexual issue??

As for sexual, Sigmund would have much to say regarding your fixational response to the Maggie comment. Latent sexual deviation coming forth? Are you googling like the "other" expert on here does?

Too hard for Sam to admit he learned something Lyman?

Just running some numbers....1,000,000 rounds divided by 50 years is 20,000 rounds a year, or on average 55 rounds deprimed, cleaned, resized, primed, loaded and seated every single day. If one places the current cost of bullets powder and primers at say 0.20/round (more or less depending on caliber), that comes to $4000/year in 2019 dollars spent on supplies, ignoring brass, dies, etc, which will surely wear out. Moreover those 20,000 rounds/year need to be discharged. And in all of those rounds over all of those years, he never once heard what it means to draw Maggie's drawers. Huh.Last edited by togor; 09-04-2019, 06:14.Comment

just admit you had not heard that term, and move on,,
