Knives don't kill people, people kill people.

Next thing I know, you Nazis will be after my nail clippers.

The OP never mentioned victims or tied this to any event... this I believe, is a mockery of the gun control debate.

So in a sense we are laughing at you.

When I saw that headline, I just wondered which gun proponent was going to be the first to crow. BTW, while there were several people hurt by this nut, there were no fatalities.

Regards,

It turns out my little pocketknife IS a concealed weapon. Someone should put me in jail. Think of the fines!

"Under the terms of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986, however, individuals "not engaged in the business" of dealing firearms, or who only make "occasional" sales within their state of residence, are under no requirement to conduct background checks on purchasers or maintain records of sale (although even private sellers are forbidden under federal law from selling firearms to persons they have reason to believe are felons or otherwise prohibited from purchasing firearms).""

They can sell to total strangers without doing any backround check, so long as said stranger gives them no "reason to believe they are felons............"

Define "reason to believe".

You think the purchaser is going to tell them he is a convicted felon?

There is your damn loophole.

And it needs to be closed.
