The Charleston loophole : Purchases by people barred from buying guns skyrocketed in 2020 By Graham Kates Thousands of gun sales slip through loophole
An unprecedented number of people who are legally barred from owning guns managed to buy them in 2020 through the so-called Charleston loophole, according to data obtained by the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.
The loophole allows gun dealers to complete sales after three days if a buyer s background check has not been completed by the FBI. If the agency later determines that the buyer should not have been allowed to get the gun, it refers the case to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which is tasked with recovering it. There were 5,807 cases in which gun purchases should have been prohibited last year through November 3, 2020, on pace to roughly double the 3,139 total for all of 2019.
