Moore backs gun show checks in push for reform
Washington backers of a new gun control bill include presidential campaign figures and Rep. Dennis Moore. The measure would close a loophole by mandating criminal background checks for gun show purchases, addressing sales where many weapons are available. Senator McCain joined as sponsor, citing Columbine and similar tragedies as turning points. Moore supports constitutional rights but asserts some individuals should not access firearms, noting past restrictions have helped yet loopholes persist.
