The "loophole" is the actual background check itself. It's a "loophole" in the Constitution.
Do I agree that background checks are good? Yeah.
But saying something "may" happen (someone "bad" getting a gun at a gunshow and then doing something criminal with it) is just a bullshit excuse for another law and more bureaucracy.
Ever see the movie "Minority Report"? All of this "pre-emptive" stuff is nonsense and causes more trouble than it solves.
From pre-emptively invading other countries, to making new "laws" for things that haven't even happened yet.
It's a slippery slope that we are already halfway down the icy mountain on.
Again...how about waiting until someone actually does something wrong and THEN arrest them.
You can't prevent crazy people from doing crazy shit.
That's why the TSA has never found one bomb on any plane. That's why the only "terrorist plots" that have been "stopped" were not real (just FBI stings with fake bombs after they talk someone into doing something stupid).
Mark...don't you ever get tired of being an adult and still having other people run your life?
Especially faceless, nameless bureaucrats who never, ever experience REAL life because they spend their entire lifetimes on the govt. teat and never have to worry about anything.
