That popping sound you hear is the heads of NRA loyalists exploding from massive cognitive dissonance, all because of the release this week of a video showing a spokesman for Al Qaeda, Adam Gadahn, urging would-be jihadis to go out and stock up on as many guns as they can get their hands on -- through the gun-show loophole:
America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle, without a background check, and most likely without having to show an identification card. So

Im so sick of the whole "terrorist" bull snip that ANY thing coming from the media or government with the word in it I totally disregard as propaganda.
Apparently, some little politicians parents didnt read them "The boy that cried wolf" when they were young.

This whole article is complete BS based on this one line right here: "You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle, without a background check, and most likely without having to show an identification card."
What is this 1930? You cannot go to any gunshow and touch most of the time, let alone purchase a fully automatic rifle. The people that do own the remaining automatic weapons have to jump through lots of hoops to have them, so they won't like you handling them wrong let alone selling them off easily when they worked so hard to obtain them. I love how people throw out the gunshow loophole all the time, its a total farce. Since it's so easy I am going to march right down to the next gunshow and do exactly as this article states! Only problem will be finding any automatic weapons that I won't have to produce an ID to purchase let alone the federal tax stamp and class III dealer that is required for the transfer.
