And yet there has NEVER been a single prosecution by the state for a straw purchase. Never. Where are all these unlawful guns when there has never been a single case of them coming from a straw purchase. So that's a red herring.
Can you please connect the dots between (1) and (2) for me? This makes absolutely no sense. If I murder someone and get away with it (am never prosecuted), did the murder never occur?
What exactly is the concern about straw purchasing supposed to distract us from? "Red herring" doesn't mean "an untrue argument."
red herring: something, especially a clue, that is or is intended to be misleading or distracting.
But because the transfer doesn't cause yet another check, anti-gunners in the state call this a "loophole" when it's no such thing. The transfer is registered with the state and both parties have to have valid gun licenses.
So it's not a loophole that someone can get licensed, get background checked, then commit a crime, then get convicted, then acquire another gun at a gun show without anyone checking his background? Because a form was mailed to the police, everything's fine?
Stop describing gun safety advocates as "anti-gunners," you're being intentionally deceptive.
Time and again our own government as well as Canada's has shown that registration leads to confiscation, so registering all guns to an owner is nothing more than a prelude to confiscation which is why us gun owners have to fight this one so hard.
Slippery slope fallacy.
