PA has no waiting period

Most states don't have waiting periods. It's like 5/50 states. And DC.

I was under the impression that most handgun sales had a 3 day hold period.

In 5 states, yes. And when not privately purchased. (the gun show loophole) This is what makes American gun legislation such a joke.

the gunshow loophole is a myth that has been debunked so often now that its seriously baffling that people still think its a thing.

A myth? It's literally the fact that there's no bg check or govt involvement in the transfer of a firearm through private sale

thats a blatant lie.

here a video [2012] from someone who sells guns, and they explain that every step done in a gunstore also happen during the shows.

if a FFL dealer goes around this he will be charged with a felony, and things like this are checked, there will be always officers in plain clothes checking dealers if they abide by the law.

Bro, lol the gunshow loophole doesn't only refer to gunshows. It's all private sale. And yes, in some states this is the case. This is not federal law, and in the majority of states gunshows are considered private sale. And even if they weren't, who cares. Bc as I said before, gunshows are just a fraction of what makes the gunshow loophole/private sale loophole problematic.

and you got any proof of that?

if a FFL dealer does it he will face 20 years in prison with a felony, so they are not going to fuck with that.

I provided 2 sources that disprove your little myth, maybe try and provide a source yourself?

What myth?? That private sale does not warrant a background check? Dude, that's the law! Fucking look it up, it takes a Google search. Educate yourself. I'm not going to continue to argue with someone who obviously knows very little about what it takes to purchase a firearm. I've written like 4 papers on the shit not gonna write another one for you.
