Imagine my surprise, seeing this fact-based article on the WRAL website:
"In a Rose Garden event, President Joe Biden announced several actions his administration will take to address what he called an "epidemic" of gun violence.
Biden repeated his call for Congress to pass legislation to expand background checks. The House voted largely along party lines to pass a pair of background check bills this year, but they haven’t moved forward in the Senate.
"These bills, one, require background checks for anyone purchasing a gun at a gun show or an online sale," Biden said at the April 8 event. "Most people don't know it, you walk into a store and you buy a gun, you have a background check. But you go to a gun show, you can buy whatever you want, and no background check." "
"We rate Biden’s statement Mostly False." states the article.
The article goes on to say that Biden's statements on this issue are exaggerated (not factual) as we already know but it does give some statistics to use in any gun-show loophole type discussions.
