Unregulated legal weapons sales challenge Obama

WASHINGTON – As President Obama tries to more closely regulate gun sales, hundreds of handguns remain legally available in Minnesota with no scrutiny or disclosures and no change in sight.

Late Monday afternoon, a single online advertising site, Armslist.com, showed 380 handguns for sale from private parties in Minnesota. A week ago, when Obama first laid out plans for more gun control, the number was 298 on the Internet site, which facilitates gun sales between Minnesotans without criminal background checks.
