The Seattle PI reports:

In an effort to drum up support for a proposal requiring background checks on those who buy firearms at gun shows, a gun control advocacy group reported a survey strongly supporting the idea. 

Washington Ceasefire conducted the survey, asking 403 registered voters whether they would be more or less likely to support candidates who wanted to close a loophole in state law that allows gun sales without background checks at gun shows.

...

Current state law allows people to buy firearms at gun shows without a background check, although federal law requires such checks when the firearm is sold at a store.

There is a problem with this article.  This last sentence is false.  And I'm willing to bet (an extremely rare thing for me to do) the survey takers worded their question(s) in such a way that they mislead the people being surveyed in a similar manner. 

The truth is Federal law does not even define a gun show let along make some sort of exception for them.  The laws that apply at a gun store apply at a gun show, the parking lot at the mall, and your backyard.  There is a reason these people lie--the truth is painful to them.  They cannot hope to get their way if they stick to the truth.
