Скачать или смотреть The "Gun Show Loophole" Demystified – Prof. Charles on Gun Background Check Laws

U.S. law on gun background checks is complex. Federal law requires licensed gun sellers to run background checks on purchasers, but there is a major loophole involving private sales. Some states have additional, more restrictive laws; others don't. We asked Second Amendment scholar and constitutional law professor, Jake Charles to clear things up for us and to explain U.S. gun background check laws and the "gun show loophole."

This series was created as part of a Gun Law and the Second Amendment series with the Duke Center for Firearms Law.
