Edited sentence: "There is a huge loophole in federal law, but it isn't for gun shows," UCLA law professor Adam Winkler said."What is called the gun-show loophole is misnamed.Federal  "gun show loophole" bills aimed at ending the private sale exemption were introduced in seven consecutive Congresses: two in 2001, two in 2004, one in 2005, one in 2007, two in 2009, two in 2011, and one in 2013.However, exempt private sellers sometimes attend gun shows hoping to find a private buyer, such as by taping a for sale sign on their gun over their shoulder while walking around.It should be the ‘private sale loophole’ or the ‘background check loophole.No laws or regulation specifically mentions gun shows in this context.Private sellers -- that is, those who do not meet the regulatory criteria of being a dealer -- are not legally required by federal law to: ask for identification, complete any forms, or keep any sales records, as long as the sale does not cross state lines and does not fall under purview of the National Firearms Act.Under federal law, private-party sellers (if they do not meet the criteria of being a dealer) are not required to perform background checks on buyers, record the sale, or ask for identification, whether at a gun show or other venue.’ ...
