There is no such thing as a gun show loop hole, and you can't just buy a gun online and have it shipped to you. What you want to do is insert the government into a private transaction between two citizens, regardless of how or where they connect. If someone buys a gun online, they have to have it shipped to me, a Federal Firearms Licensee, and I conduct the background check through FDLE and maintain the paperwork recording the transaction and maintain a log of all firearms that pass through my business. Even as a non-licensee, its already illegal for Joe Schmoe to sell a gun to a person he thinks might be a felon or intends to cause harm with it.
Lets say that law had passed after Connecticut and now you had to pay the government for a background check if two brothers were to conduct a transaction. Let's say for instance, the shooter from Las Vegas and his brother. By all accounts, the shooter would have passed any background check conducted. Now let's see the same transaction between those same two brothers right now. Brother B had no inclination that his brother, the shooter, had any ill intentions and knew he had no criminal record. So if one was selling a firearm to his brother, it would still be perfectly legal.
By the way, who conducts this new mental check people want to add to firearm purchases? Let's recall the last bill that wanted to "ban mentally unstable" people, and people on the terrorist watch list. Retirees who used the SSA to help manage their finances would have been considered incompetent. There would be no notification that you were deemed unfit, and there was no recourse to challenge it. As for the terrorist watch list, there were small children on it, there were completely law abiding citizens on it, and come to think of it, there may have even been some legislators on it. There was no way to know if you were put on the list, and there was no recourse to challenge your addition to the list. That bill grossly eliminated due process at every turn, and that's why it didn't pass.
Now let's talk about silencers. The most effective silencer on the quietest .22lr gun is still 115dB, that's louder than a car horn, a jet turbine at takeoff power from 200 feet and a riveting machine. They're already legal ownership and use in 37 states, and according to the FBI and ATF are so rarely used in crimes, the data is inconsequential. What the new bill would do is remove them from the purview of the NFA branch. This would remove the $200 tax per item and the ten month wait for the ATF to process the paperwork. They would be transferred by dealers on a form 4473, which is the same form used to transfer all title I firearms, and a background check would be performed. So silencers would still be under the same regulations as a shotgun, handgun or any other firearm.
Did you know that you're like 600 times more likely to be killed by your doctor than a gun? They give it a cute name, "medical misadventure", to make it seem like its was a fun that that got a little out of hand. You're also more likely to be killed by your toilet than by gun violence.
