"The So-Called Gun Show Loophole"

Per NRA-ILA:
"Amendment 22, the law that closed the so-called gun-show loophole to require background checks on gun buyers, could be altered for the first time by the Colorado legislature."

Per NRA-ILA:
A lawmaker wants to remove some language from the voter- approved law that closed the so-called "gun-show loophole" regarding criminal background checks in 2000.

Per NRA-ILA:
"There Is No Gun Show Loophole"

Per NRA-ILA:
"In its desperation to abolish gun shows, AGS also continues attempts to fabricate a gun show 'loophole.'"

Per NRA-ILA:
"Proponents say their bill is a single-purpose effort to close a so-called 'gun show loophole,' but S. 890 contains numerous complications and loopholes that give a single federal official the ability to shut down gun shows entirely, register citizens who attend shows and impose many other restrictions that have nothing to do with background checks on purchases."

And how do these words and warnings translate into actions?

In a compromise engineered by NRA-ILA:
"[S]enators voted 34-25 to approve the NRA-backed proposal to close the so-called "gun show loophole."
