Today I came across gunloophole.com. It's a very dissapointing site, with the usual blurbs on "unlicensed sellers" using classified ads to supply the bad guys with guns. It seems to be two things: one, another attempt to erode gun rights, and two, another attempt at taxing everything in sight. After all, we can't have these unlicensed sellers just selling thier property without paying due tribute.
What's next, the "conversation loophole?"
(edit: here's some of the bile they're spewing)
"WHAT IS THE NEWSPAPER LOOPHOLE?
The unregulated sale of firearms by unlicensed sellers through classified ads in newspapers allows felons, domestic abusers, minors, and other persons who are prohibited by law from possessing firearms to buy guns without a criminal background check. We call this the “newspaper loophole.”
The potential danger to the general public from the private sale of firearms through the classifieds is illustrated by the Mark Williams and Benjamin Smith incidents. See stories below.
The National Campaign to Close the Newspaper Loophole asks newspapers to restrict firearms advertisements to licensed firearms dealers only, and to not accept classified ads for guns from unlicensed sellers. Since the campaign was launched in November 2001, at least 69 newspapers across the country with a combined circulation of 7.9 million have changed their firearms advertising policy."
