25. A person may sell a firearm to an
unlicensed resident of his State,
if he does not know or have
reasonable cause to believe the
person is prohibited from
receiving or possessing firearms
under Federal law.
This is the “Gun Show Loophole”
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(d), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]

26. SELLER:
“I’m a private seller, I can’t do background checks.”
INVESTIGATOR:
“That’s good ‘cause I probably couldn’t pass one.”
So Any Sale in this Case is Already Illegal

27. INVESTIGATOR:
“Now they’re gonna get what’s coming to them.”
SELLER:
“Will that be cash or check?”
And Any Sale in this Case is Already Illegal

28. SELLER:
“Is that a prison gang tattoo on your forehead?”
INVESTIGATOR:
“No. My girlfriend liked the design so I had it done.”
And Any Sale in this Case is Already Illegal

29. Requiring Checks for Private Transfers Just Makes These Illegal

30. A person may loan or rent a firearm
to a resident of any State for
temporary use for lawful sporting
purposes, if he does not know or have
reasonable cause to believe the
person is prohibited from receiving
or possessing firearms under Federal
law.
Universal Checks Would Invalidate Current Law
