“Currently, gun stores are required by law to conduct a background check for every gun sale. But, for decades, many dealers who sell weapons someplace other than the traditional gun store — say, for example, a gun show or a flea market or even through social media — have gotten away without conducting background checks. This is the so-called ‘gun show loophole.’”

None of the media has a fact check pointing out that Kamala Harris doesn’t understand what the law is.
CNN: “Biden administration finalizes rule to close ‘gun show loophole’ in effort to combat gun violence“
