Jacksonville mayor John Peyton is featured in a new national television ad for the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

What is the “gun show loophole” in practice? Here is how M.A.I.G. describes it…

Currently, licensed gun dealers are required to run criminal background checks on all buyers, but a loophole in the law enables criminals to avoid these checks if they buy from gun-sellers who don’t have licenses. Often operating at gun shows, these unlicensed sellers give criminals the opportunity to sidestep the background check system and easily purchase guns.
