So we have a bill to limit magazines @ 10 rds, a bill to prohibit carry within 1000ft of a Congress member, and this one to end gun show sales(even though the gunman didn't buy from a gun show and passed background check) .
ALL 3 bills have been introduced by NEW YORK politicians, go figure.
snip
Rep. Gary Ackerman, a Democrat from New York, is the third congressman to propose a gun control bill in the wake of the murders on Saturday. (The other two are also New Yorkers.)
His bill seeks to accomplish a goal other gun control advocates have tried and failed to do in recent years: close the "fire sale loophole," which permits unauthorized gun dealers to sell firearms at gun shows and allows buyers to purchase them without an otherwise mandatory FBI background check.
