Whats the difference between that an criminals buying guns in a dark alley
somewhere?
The term "gun show exemption" is purposefully misleading, it suggests guns
bought on the floor of the show are exempt from background checks. Thats not
even sort of true.

No meaning? Seriously?? If I were a criminal why wouldn't I purchase "just
outside" a gun show?

Yeah, no, not even sort of. When the news media says "gun show exemption"
they're really talking about people selling guns outside the gun show which is
really no different than any other citizen to citizen transaction except that
in this case its happening nearby (but not AT) a gun show.
Of course as usual this is the problem with sound bites and snappy little
phrases, they never convey anything really resembling real actual meaning...

I thought there was a gun show exemption from background checks. My mistake.

Andrew,
Yet again, I feel I must speak in response to your latest posting.
First: The article is in error because of it's hoplopobic reporting focus.
Apparently, you are drawn to that, which is your right, just as it is mine
to point it out.
Second: It seems now likely both yourself and the writer of the posted
article are not aware of the standard practice at ALL gun shows that
requires the checking of ALL weapons and then securing them with a safety
tie wrap through the firing mechanism UPON ENTRY to the gun show. NRA is
simply a HUGE GUN SHOW... This is simply standard safety practice used at
ALL gun shows to ensure against unintended discharge of any weapon.
Third: This practice is a STANDARD SAFETY PRACTICE when entering and
exiting any shooting range I have ever attended. ALL weapons are cleared of
bullets in the barrel, and ALL magazines or cylinders are emptied BEFORE
leaving the line of fire, while the barrel is pointed DOWN RANGE.. Simple
and primary gun safety practiced by RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS as a universal
practice.
Fourth: The writer attempts to make this standard safety practice a
platform for hoplophobic social engineering under the guise of "gun
control".. This is an insult to anyone who understands and practices
standard gun safety. Thus, wrong.
Fifth: I invite you to satisfy your fascination with all things gun by
making contact with a certified firearms instructor and taking an
introductory course where such basics are covered as gun handling, gun
safety, and very basic shooting skills introduction. I sincerely believe
you would come to understand more about the real facts of ownership and
responsibility that comes with ownership of a firearm.
I am a certified firearms instructor myself and over the years have often
come in contact with people who only saw a gun on TV or the movies, being
used most improperly and often illegally. These perceptions have become
ingrained in the minds of many, unfortunately. I urge you to expose
yourself to the facts on gun safety and use.
There is a group called USCCA which, if you contact them, will steer you to
one of their certified instructors, in your local area, which you may find
helpful and educational.
You are a smart man.. the decision is yours, I only suggest.
Respectfully,
Grant...
