~FR http://judiciary.house.gov/legacy/lapierre.htm We think it 's reasonable to provide mandatory instant criminal background checks for every sale at every gun show. No loopholes anywhere for anyone. That means closing the Hinckley loophole so the records of those adjudicated mental ill are in the system. Directly the opposite of what he said in the second link. Sen. Leahy went on to ask whether actual criminals should be allowed to purchase firearms at gun shows. “Do you still, as you did in 1999, still support mandatory background checks at gun shows? Yes or no?” Leahy asked. LaPierre replied. “We supported the national background check system on dealers. We were here when one of your colleagues held the hearings in terms of who would be a dealer and who would be required to have a license…” “Let’s make this easy,” Leahy interrupted. “I’m talking about gun shows. Should we have mandatory background checks at gun shows for all sales of weapons?” “If you are a dealer, that is already the law,” LaPierre dodged. “That is not my question,” Sen. Leahy interjected. “Please, I’m not trying to play games. If you could, just answer my question.” “I do not believe the way the law is working now, unfortunately, that it does any good to extend the law to private sales between hobbyists and collectors,” LaPierre responded. “You do not support background checks in all instances at gun shows?” Leahy asked. “We do not.”
