Are background checks effective?
Background checks have a deterrent effect. People who are ineligible to buy a gun are unlikely to try to purchase a gun if they know they are going to be subjected to a background check.

Just how many gun purchases don't require federal background checks, and how does that happen?
Forty percent of all firearms purchased in the United States are sold without background checks because the guns aren't purchased from a federally licensed firearms dealer. Rather, those weapons are bought at gun shows, on street corners, over the Internet or from friends or neighbors, Nichols said.
These are the so-called loopholes in the current federal background check system.


Federally licensed firearms dealers participate at gun shows and, of course, conduct background checks. It's not such a loophole at gun shows. But it's like if you sell me your shotgun, that's a private transaction. Just as if I sell you a car, I don't have a dealer's license.

Ten states and the District of Columbia have their own laws requiring background checks for any firearm sold at a gun show and six more states require background checks for gun-show sales of handguns, but not for rifles or shotguns.

These states that close loopholes, however, provide exemptions for gun transfers between immediate family members and between licensed dealers.
