well if the mcain-lieberman bill "Gun show loophole closing and gun law enforcement act of 2001" is passed we could probably kiss gun shows goodbye. there is an article on gunlaws.com writed by alan korwin about how this bill is grossly inaccurate. the bill has almost nothing to do with closing this so called loop hole,it is for the complete takeover and total control of the federal government to be in charge of gun shows. things like unprecedented federal control over gun shows nationwide,gun shows will be outlawed without prior federal approval,centralized federal licensing and regestration of every gun show promoter,centralized federal registration of every vendor,centralized federal registration of every person who attends a gun show whether or not one makes a purchase you wont be allowed in if you are not registered,centralized collection of any other information on gun show attendees as determined solely by the secretary of treasury,imprisoment for attending a gun show and failing to give up information required by regulations of the secretary of treasury,imprisonment of any gun show promoter who fails to register a single vendor,centralized collection of any other information the secretary of the treasurey decides by regulations is necessary on vendors,attendees, and the gun show itself,identification of vendors only by use of federally approved photo id,regulations to be issued by the secretary of the treasury on the procedures,data collection,methods and implemetation of the entire process to federally control gun shows, in addition to the reauirements made by the proposed statue, such regualtions will not be known,drafted or even suggested until after the mccain lieberman law is enacted. this is just a summarized version of what this man has written, i am in the process of doing research to see how accurate this mans story is, if it is true, well good by gun shows, all those nice things that one can buy at gun shows i am sure wont be thier, and probably in the future probably no gun shows at all. this whole loop hole thing is being told untruthful in the anti gun media,so i suppose what are we going to due know?
