Once again, Joe, you continue to promulgate your lies and propaganda.

There IS in fact, a purchase prohibited database. It is called the
'National Insta-Check System', which is part of the Brady Act. You have,
in fact, been told of its existence innumerable times in the past, which
you persist on ignoring. The fact that you continue to ignore our
pointing this fact out to you is rather indicative of your true
intentions.

Yet there is NO 'loophole'. Anyone who is a dealer must use the
Insta-check system at gun shows, another fact which YOU, as well as
McCain and HCI and AGS and VPC all continue to ignore and lie about in
their, and your, propaganda. The fact that your pronouncements seem to
be verbatim quotes from HCI and VPC websites and ads belies your true
intentions.

As ANYONE on this list can attest, it was you who started the whole
sniping fest. I believe that you got all hot under the collar because we
were posting historical facts about how gun control laws are always used
by fascists and other left wing authoritarians when they plan on
enslaving people and committing genocide. If you took our recitation of
these facts to mean we were labeling you as one such, none such labeling
was intended, unless, of course, you really are such a person....
fascists tend to continually lie, ignore the facts, and spout vile
accusations and slander against their opponents as well....
hmmmmmmm.......
