Continued from the previous thread.
Do promoters in CA have to purchase a license for the show? Do promoters have to turn over a list of all venders (whether selling guns or not) 30 days before the show, 72 hrs before the show and 5 days after the show? Do background checks have to be run on anyone selling and purchasing a firearm? Does a promoter have to turn over a detailed list of sellers, buyers and firearms sold within 5 days of the close of the show? Does the promoter face criminal sanctions should any of the foregoing steps not be taken?
That's what S890 entailed.
As far as I know, McCain has never said that he wants anything different. So nowadays, McCain says, ""I also oppose efforts to require federal regulation of all private sales such as the transfer between a father and son or husband and wife."... The exception to this quote are those private sales at gun shows.
What we don't know, and no one including McCain, has outright said, does he want the same type of regulation as he co-sponsored in S890? If he does, then no promoter will be willing to risk fines and jail, and gun shows will die.
On this, we have nothing to forsee the future, except by past actions.
Also currently, such regulation is a State issue. Once the Feds pass such legislation (this necessarily assumes the courts will agree that the Feds have this power), history tells me that there will be more legislation to regulate all aspects of firearms sales. What was a State issue, will become a Federal Commerce Clause issue (see Raich).
Again, we have nothing by which to forsee the future, except by past actions.
Really?STAGE 2 said:I'm not sure I follow your logic. California has the state equivalent of this bill and we have plenty of gun shows.
