Glenn Reynolds argues for closing the gun show loophole

Although I'm not sure he meant to do it.

By pointing out that criminals can still get guns pretty easily outside gun stores, it would seem to argue that stricter rules are needed outside of them. Because if criminals can't get guns at a gun store, those aspects of gun control are then working. Making those standards uniform everywhere would seem to be a solution to keeping criminals from acquiring weapons in other places, yes?

By the way, wouldn't a criminal's punishment for committing a gun related crime and acquiring an illegal weapon be longer than one for comitting the gun related crime? If anyone knows, I'd love to hear it.
