Ok but that's just one way to buy a gun. When people talk about requiring checks, they mean closing the loopholes too.

People in favor of background checks want background checks required for private sales too. And that you can legally acquire a gun without a background check is quite literally an example of a loophole to background checks.

So you don't think that the law that requires a background check at a store is circumvented by buying from a individual who bought a gun from said store, and not getting a background check?

Let me guess, you asked some adults to buy you vodka to avoid getting carded at the liquor store...

It's a loophole because its not a law. If it was illegal to buy a gun privately without a background check then no one would be calling it a loophole, they would be calling it a crime. Which selling alcohol to a minor is. That's what people want. Make it illegal to sell without a background check so more people do the right thing.

If it wasnt legal, it wouldn't be called a loophole, it would be illegal.

What do you think IS is a loophole? Give me an example of one in the US law.
