Justice Department finalizes rules to close ‘gun show loophole’
wapo.st
The change requires more sellers to conduct background checks for buyers. The White House called it the biggest increase in gun regulation in decades.

    Nah. It’s the ability to buy a new gun without getting a background check. All this means is that it’s a little bit harder for convicted felons to get guns, and a little bit more work is required for private sellers. Very much a worthwhile tradeoff.

      Depending on the felon they likely have far easier access to guns than finding a private sale at a gun show.

      And that loophole is private sale. If you required background checks for private sale it would necessitate registration for it to do anything.
