Yesterday Shep indicated in a story regarding Bloomberg's expose that he did not understand why the "Loophole" existed. I sent the following to Fox News & I encourage my THR friends to do something similar:

Shepard indicated yesterday in his report on the"Gunshow Loophole" exposed by Michael Bloomberg that he didn't understand why it existed. It exists to allow the private transfer of guns from one individual to another. A father should not be required to force his son or daughter to pass a NICS check to inherit his firearms, nor should a law abiding citizen be forced to undergo transfer fees and NICS checks to buy a gun from his neighbor. The fact that citizens do this at an occasional gunshow is a red herring. The goal of closing the "Loophole" is to outlaw all private transfers. This would simply convert an individual right into a privilege, one that must be agreed to by the state. I doubt Mr. Smith would fail to identify this with clarity if such discussions were applied to the First amendment.
As for Mayor Bloomberg, his surrogates, public employees of the city of New York, traveled to Arizona and committed a felony to purchase these weapons out of state. Where is the investigation into them?
Rights are rights. If evil men abuse them from time to time, then let us work to curb the effects of evil men without infringing on the rights of the law abiding.
