The 'gunshow loophole' you'd trade away is the 1968 Gun Control law carveout which was negotiated for the purpose of allowing you to swap guns with your in-state neighbor or pass your shotgun down to your grandson without having to submit him to a federal background check. If it is to be renegotiated, then the whole thing should be hashed out once again...Geo

Wouldn't an nca type chomp at the bit to hash out gun control. He'd be given credibility that didn't take an ounce of effort to earn. I am satified for myself that the 'universal' effort is a foot in the door. I suspect to placate there will some grandfather clause, that will only mean folks born after some arbitrary date down the road will be bound by progressive law, regs and enforcement.
