I think we all saw this coming, the attempt to bypass the legislative process.........
Closing the gun show loophole
Closing the gun show loophole
Obama this morning declared the CA massacre as "Gun Violence," not terrorism. Wonder why?
He is not going full Universal Background Checks. This is the same move that he telegraphed previously. He is going to designate regular private sellers who move many sales as gun sellers requiring them to complete background checks. It is directed at private sellers working gun shows parking lots and using Facebook to hawk their wares as private sellers, but they sell many firearms. They do a face to face transaction as a private seller rather than as an FFL holder requiring a background check.
He cannot institute full "universal background checks" without Congress, as much as he would like to.
An Executive Order directing the BATFE to consider persons who sell 50 guns a year "in the business" is likely within the President's authority, assuming that the statute regarding being in the business is not void for vagueness.
Could be he was referring to his "home town", just got the 57 states mixed up. Honest mistake from a highly educated scholar.
Upon reading any statement issued from these loons the first thing that becomes apparent is how they twist and manipulate the wordage to fit their agenda.
"gun show loophole" that allows people to buy weapons at gun shows and online without a background check
online is now suddenly comingled with gun shows. Last time I checked any gun purchased online and shipped must go to a FFL dealer. More lies and deceit. Stay vigilant.
I can't say for sure, but I think an in state sale between non FFL's set up online would not need an FFL or a NICS check.
Any gun that shipped, even if it stayed in state, would have to go to an FFL.

But the simple suggestion of EOs should motivate gun and ammo sales.
