"Closing the 'Gun Show Loophole': Impact on Local Businesses and Voter Support"

The owner of a local outdoor shop in Bellefonte, Thomas Engle, supports the Biden administration's efforts to close the "gun show loophole" and expand background checks for firearm purchases, stating that it puts everyone "on equal footing." He emphasizes that at gun shows, people could buy and sell without licenses and insurances, while his shop conducts background checks and only sells to law-abiding citizens, stressing that background checks do not equate to registration.
