Hillary Clinton today unveiled her plan as president to strengthen gun control measures. NBC News reports that, among other steps, Clinton would close “the so-called gun show loophole” using executive action “if Congress will not act.”

We know conservatives have had enough of two things: executive orders and references to the gun show loophole. Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist, would like the Washington media to use its research skills and resources to buy a gun at a gun show without a background check.
I have a fun challenge for all pro-gun control writers who live in D.C.: go to a gun show and buy a gun without a background check.

@seanmdav Good challenge for all the little cupcakes out there that pop off about "guns are easy to get".

@seanmdav @jtLOL Why on Earth would they do that? Then they'd have to willingly lie to repeat the liberal "gun show loophole" talking point.

@seanmdav @EdDriscoll Sorry for ignorance: what you're saying is the independent dealers "not in the business" still run background checks?
— Karol Markowicz (@karol) October 5, 2015
@karol @EdDriscoll All FFLs are required by law to either run or confirm background checks, regardless of venue.

@karol @EdDriscoll The only exemption that exists is for private transactions between private individuals who reside in the same state.

@seanmdav @karol @EdDriscoll even then it is illegal to knowingly transfer a firearm to a person who is not legally entitled to possess it

@DaveinTexas @karol @EdDriscoll Correct.

He did manage to get his hands on a high-capacity magazine, which is illegal in Washington, D.C.
@seanmdav I think @piersmorgan needs some work, maybe he could do it. @DLoesch

@seanmdav @AviWoolf This isn't about Hillary not knowing that "gun show loophole" isn't law. She does. This is about demonizing gun shows.

@seanmdav @DLoesch Those that claim guns can be bought legally as easily as veggies (Obama) have never bought a gun.

Plus they’re making Clinton tear up.
