Interesting part from the ink above ::::
Florida has no law requiring background checks of any kind if a private individual - as opposed to a licensed gun shop - sells to another private individual. This is often referred to as a "gun show loophole".
"If you go to a gun range and the guy next to you says, 'Oh, I love your gun,' you can sell it to him without going through a background check "
With a loophole like this, what chance is there for any sensible gun control legislation in the future ?
I am half-way through reading Paul Theroux's new book..."Deep South"
In it he describes exactly this sort of thing when he attended Gun Shows....
if you can can just buy a gun, legally, off a man in the street, what possible use are any official State gun laws ?
