Explaining Chicago is the simplest one of all but I'll do it for you in case you are truly unable to figure it out. From Chicago you can drive a half hour in any direction except east and buy guns. Then you just turn the car around and drive back to Chicago! Not all that complicated.

And regarding gun shows you absolutely do not require a background check to buy from anyone there who is not a registered dealer. It is called the gun show loophole; maybe you've heard of it? Likewise, you can buy online and there are gun nut websites that work a lot like Craigslist where thousands of such transactions occur, all with no background checks!


The Chicago thing is an Illinois and other state's issue.

Regarding your gun show information that is dependent on the state laws. Here we have to register our hand guns. If you sell it to another pistol permit owner you must notify the state that you sold it and they must register that gun. If you are missing a gun you must report it immediately otherwise you could be in deep doggie dodo if it is used in a crime.

I will end my involvement in this thread by stating this: this gun issue as well as many other issues there are only two sides, the far right and the far left. Both sides say it is my way or the highway. Compromise is out of the question. Where is the middle ground?

For instance as you know I am a gun owner however myself and other gun owners that I know do not always side with the NRA. For example we do not need or want silencers to be available to the public.

Also I feel that I can respectfully disagree with the fine people on this side without making enemies and I hope that those who disagree with me feel the same.
