When you see an absolutely airtight political point being made, you just have to give props where they're due.

So, props to Curt Schilling and his salient point about gunshow poopholes. They simply DON'T exist and anyone who can't admit that is lying their ass off.

Schilling, who supports Trump and was fired from ESPN earlier this year for transphobic comments he shared on Facebook, was live-tweeting the presidential debate when he made perhaps the most objective point of the night: there is no gunshow poophole.

While Schilling is correct in his assessment of gunshow poopholes, he's incorrect in his assessment of the "gunshow loophole."

One does exist, though it is often said to be incorrectly or inaccurately named. Many experts have pushed for the existing exemption in the law to be called a "private sale loophole."

Then again, maybe Schilling didn't mistype and he was just making a 100 percent accurate statement. No way to know!
