The Gun Show Loophole and Crime

This report, “The Gun Show Loophole and Crime,” seeks to answer the main questions concerning gun shows and the gun show loophole. Is there conclusive evidence that the gun show loophole is a contributor to crime in America? Is there a difference in gun trafficking patterns between states that have closed the gun show loophole on their own and those that have not? Is there any truth to the argument raised by opponents of closing the gun show loophole that requiring background checks is detrimental to gun show business operators?
THIS REPORT WAS PUBLISHED IN FEBRUARY 2004 BY AMERICANS FOR GUN SAFETY.
