The so called gun show loophole is a complete red herring. There is absolutely no difference between a non-dealer selling a gun at a gun show, in the paper or a grocery store bulletin board. It is a private transaction, not regulated. Only the means of getting buyer and seller together are different. So clearly the next step would be to require background checks between ALL private transactions. I have no way of doing B.Cs so now the answer is all private sales must be done though a FFL dealer. Now we get to the real game plan behind this close " the loophole"talk. I, and many,many others that do not live in the wonderful state of Illinois,own many guns that no one knows I possess. The law would be unenforceable. How would any one know the sale took place? The answer,of course, would be national registration of ALL guns, in ALL states-the holy grail of gun controller's since the days of Tim Sullivan in NYC. Disarmament must start with knowing who owns what.
