You are using obfuscation and dishonestly parsing words here to protect murderers, felons and wife beaters. The loophole DOES exist. You KNOW it exists. But the fact that anyone prohibited from legally buying a gun under any circumstances is engaging in an "illegal" activity, you are saying it is not a "loophole".
So you want to pamper and protect murderers, felons and wife beaters from the humiliation, inconvenience and inherit danger of having to buy their weapons of death from other murderers, felons and wife beaters.
You really are an example of a reprehensible human being.
Murderer, felon and wife beater----->

Sheriff Bailey, Chief Monroe: Close gun show loophole
As record crowds flood gun shows in North Carolina and across the nation, two top law enforcement officials in Charlotte say they support closing the “gun show loophole” that allows unregulated private sales at the events.
“I think any exchange of a firearm should require somebody to have some document showing they’ve had a background investigation,” Sheriff Chipp Bailey told the Observer.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Rodney Monroe also said he is concerned by private gun show sales that require no background checks. A third official, Earl Woodham, spokesman for the Charlotte division of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said he could not comment on changes to gun laws but did say private sales hamper criminal investigations.
At a recent show in Fayetteville that drew hours-long lines, private sellers traded guns for cash. Prices were written on cardboard taped to their chests or on the firearms slung over their shoulders. Their transactions happened in aisles or corners near the more organized booths of licensed dealers.
One man near the show entrance hoisted his own AR-15s into the air.
“No background checks! $1,500!” the private seller shouted.
What is the gun show loophole?
The gun show loophole appeared in 1986, when Congress passed the Firearm Owners Protection Act that differentiates between licensed gun dealers and private sellers.
Dealers, under the federal law, must perform background checks on all purchasers, refuse to sell guns to convicted felons or other people on the “prohibited purchasers” list and keep records of all sales.
Private sellers only have to follow applicable state laws.
Law enforcement concerns
Chief Monroe and Sheriff Bailey both say unregulated private sales make it easier for criminals to get guns. The ATF says it makes it harder for authorities to trace weapons during criminal investigations.
“This gap in the background check system ... puts officers at risk,” CMPD spokesman Robert Tufano said in a statement issued for the chief. “Chief Monroe supports legislation that requires background checks for all firearms sales at gun shows.”
But national and state gun rights groups say private sales should not be regulated because it’s an individual right to sell or trade a personal firearm.
Gun rights advocates reject the term “loophole,” since all private sales are unregulated, not just the ones at gun shows.
