Where do they find these idiots?
A freshman Democrat California state senator is targeting gun shows held on public property.
California Globe reported:
Earlier this week, a new bill that would end all guns shows on public property received committee assignment, ensuring that it would be heard before the Senate Public Safety Committee this year.
Senate Bill 264, authored by freshman Senator Dave Min (D-Irvine), would specifically prohibit state officers or employees, as well as any operator or licensee of state property, from allowing the sale of firearms or ammunition on state property. Law enforcement agencies would get a an exemption to SB 264 in the form of gun buyback events.
While the bill did not give any specifics to fines or other punishments should there be a violation, SB 264 did note that there would consequences of sorts.
Senator Min authored the bill largely to stop a “tragic cycle of gun violence” that comes from deadly shooting in the US each year, and specifically targeted to end the Crossroads of the West Gun Show held several times each year at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa. Min claims that the shows offer a “gun show loophole” that allows the sale of illegal firearms, such as those without serial numbers.
There is no "gun show loophole". In order to buy a gun at a gun show legally, people have to submit to a background check there, just as they do when purchasing at a gun store and pick it later if they pass. If Senator Min thinks otherwise, then he's an idiot. (I've told him so.)
