Gun shows
Both Inslee and McKenna said they support background checks for purchasing guns from private dealers at gun shows. Such checks are required when buying a gun from a federally licensed dealer.
"It's difficult for me to defend preventing a terrorist from getting on an airplane ... but then allowing him to go to a gun show and buy weapons and unlimited ammunition with no background check," Inslee said. "That just doesn't pass the common-sense test."
McKenna said there should be "some kind of background check" when buying firearms at a gun show. He noted the Washington Arms Collectors, which holds the largest gun show in the state, requires purchasers to be members of the group, and every member must have a background check.
"I think it's quite telling that the largest and most responsible gun-show operator in the state has already moved in that direction," he said.

And yes, we have already seen the picture of two OCers standing next to Rob McKenna a zillion times, and we will see it for the zilioneth + 1 time on this thread again. The picture supposedly means "Rob McKenna is one of us"
