It is already illegal for a convicted felon on parole to purchase a gun. All he has to do is duck across a state line and visit a gum show where collectors* ate allowed to sell. The biggest reason cited for this loophole is funding.
*Collectors at the shows, by a vast majority, are usually shop owners looking to quickly dump excess inventory and/or circumvent costly permitting.
