I'm not a fan of crowds, and I don't like buying expensive stuff from private sellers, so I have to confess I've never been to a gun show.

From the news one gets the impression that you can buy whatever you want at a gun show without any checks (which if true would be a pretty big loophole in our current controls). From - presumably better informed - sources online one gets the impression that that's nonsense.

My question is why - if it doesn't exist to begin with - are so many people opposed to closing this loophole. I'm not looking to start an argument, but closing an imaginary loophole seems like a pretty easy concession to make.
