Federal judge blocks Biden administration rule requiring dealers at gun shows to run background checks - Discuss Online

I’ve never been to a gun show that did not require a NICS check before a firearm purchase.

I’ve been to plenty.

Last one, guy didn’t even ask for my id until I asked for a receipt.

Could a tourist in holiday go to a gun show and buy a gun?

I don’t plan on doing this, my days of coming to America are over, just a curious thought.

Almost certainly. But getting it home would be a problem, as almost every other country on earth has stringent firearm import laws to navigate.

True.

Now this is going to sound more and more like this is my intention, but I’m honestly just a curious dude.

I think you could get it home through the mail no? Properly wrapped. Like they ain’t scanning all packages otherwise I’d have had more drug shipments blocked back when I used to order on the DarkWeb markets.

I’m sure it depends on the country. Here in Canada, you are gambling between safely importing an illegal firearm vs. an indictable offense which can lead to three years in jail (for the first gun). And that’s assuming the firearm is otherwise legal in Canada.

Obviously it happens - most handguns used in crimes in Canada are illegally smuggled in from the US. Just understand though, that you’d be setting yourself up for a world of hurt.
