Word is that the bill to regulate all sales at gun shows in Virginia has been defeated for a second time in the Virginia Senate. This is useful for everyone, because passage of this bill in Virginia might have given legs to a national effort to do the same.
UPDATE: It occurs to me that I should say “further regulate” because it’s not like there’s any such thing as an unregulated gun sale these days.
Actually, in most states, private party sales are completely unregulated, as long as you stay below the magic four guns bought and sold a year level. In theory, this could be a problem. In practice, private party sales at gun shows don’t seem to produce a measureable problem. But I wouldn’t say that there are no unregulated gun sales.
True Clayton, but you still may not sell a gun privately to someone who lives outside of your state, or to a person you know to be prohibited from possessing a firearm. So in that sense, the sales are still regulated, the onus is just on your to comply.
