On the recordJune 15, 2016
The Senator is correct. Today, the estimates are that 40 percent of all gun sales happen outside of brick-and-mortar stores. And the secret is out that if you can't get a gun because of your criminal record--or in this case because of your inclusion on the no-fly list-- then just circle back and find another way. All it takes is a quick Internet search. All it takes is to plug in armslist.com, and you can get a weapon delivered to you in short order. If we don't close that loophole--that Internet and gun show loophole--then simply denying terrorists guns at gun stores is a half measure. I yield for a question.
