" She's making that up as she has no way of coming up with that number. The fact is, if you go to a gun show, only licensed dealers are allowed to set up booths to sell guns. They are required to run a background check on all sales or they will lose their license. Sheriff deputies are standing by to run that check for a small fee. If you sell your private weapon to one of these dealers, they must still run a BGC when they sell it. Are there some sales between private individuals on the floor? Yes, as well as some sales from newspaper ads or between friends, but this does not account for 40% of gun sales. Common sense should tell you this. “Loopholes in the Brady Law mean about 40 percent of all gun sales in America take place without background checks. ” She’s making that up as she has no way of coming up with that number.
