Who cares what most people prefer to do?
The majority of states you can go buy a gun through a private sale without any background check at all. That's their issue if they have a problem not going to a federally regulated gun store.
So what the majority of people go to stores to buy there weapon gun shows have squat to do with the topic.
Since New Jersey stopping approving gun transfers because of what agian?
