We\u2019re working with Democrats, we\u2019re working with Republicans, and we already have very strong background checks,\u201d Trump said on Wednesday from the White House. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president did not discuss the details of what that means exactly, aside to say that they\u2019d look to close \u201cloopholes\u201d within the current system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under federal law any prospective purchaser must pass a background check when buying a gun from a federal firearms licensee, e.g. a retail store or gun shop.&nbsp; However, person-to-person transfers or sales between private citizens do not require a background check &#8212; though, it is unlawful for one to knowingly sell or transfer a firearm to a prohibited person. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anti-gunners often refer to the private citizen exemption as the \u201cgun-show loophole,\u201d and that could be what Trump is referencing.&nbsp; Universal Background Check (UBC) legislation, as the gun-prohibition lobby calls it, would close this putative &#8220;loophole&#8221; by outlawing private sales and transfers.&nbsp; Unless certain exceptions are carved out in a proposed UBC bill, every single sale or transfer would be subject to a background check (and the fee that accompanies it) including those made between family members, friends, neighbors, hunting buddies, etc. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/democratic-fundraiser-fake-donald-trump-execution\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"trump-well-be-doing-background-checks-closing-loopholes\" title=\"Trump: \u2018We\u2019ll Be Doing Background Checks\u2019 &amp; Closing \u2018Loopholes\u2019\">Democratic Fundraiser Features Fake Donald Trump Execution<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is this what Trump is looking to do?  Hard to say.  Trump did mention that he was going to proceed with caution as he is cognizant of the way Dems try to take a mile when they\u2019re offered an inch on gun control. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m concerned that no matter what we agreed to, when we get there, I&#8217;m concerned that Democrats will say, \u2018Oh, well, we now want this,\u2019&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a slippery slope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president also indicated that he\u2019s been in communication with Wayne LaPierre, the Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association.&nbsp; LaPierre has expressed interest in coming to the negotiating table, evidently.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have background checks, but there are loopholes in the background checks. That\u2019s what I spoke to the NRA about yesterday,\u201d explained Trump. \u201cThey want to get rid of the loopholes as well as I do. At the same time, I don\u2019t want to take away people\u2019s Second Amendment rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the near future, the White House will put out a plan to address gun-related violence that will include changes to the background check process, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2019\/08\/21\/donald-trump-gun-background-checks-1470901\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"trump-well-be-doing-background-checks-closing-loopholes\" title=\"Trump: \u2018We\u2019ll Be Doing Background Checks\u2019 &amp; Closing \u2018Loopholes\u2019\">Politico<\/a>.&nbsp; It goes without saying, but the devil will be in the details&#8230; Stay tuned for updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump said this week that he will work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to expand background checks for gun purchases.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":114564,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,469,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-114563","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-gun-control","14":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Trump: \u2018We\u2019ll Be Doing Background Checks\u2019 &amp; Closing \u2018Loopholes\u2019<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"President Donald Trump said this week that he will work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to expand background checks for gun purchases.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/trump-well-be-doing-background-checks-closing-loopholes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Trump: \u2018We\u2019ll Be Doing Background Checks\u2019 &amp; Closing \u2018Loopholes\u2019\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"President Donald Trump said this week that he will work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to expand background checks for gun purchases.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/trump-well-be-doing-background-checks-closing-loopholes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-08-22T17:05:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-06T02:45:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/PresidentTrumpBackgroundChecks.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"685\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
