The original presentation was that you could buy guns from dealers without a check at the gun shows. That was obviously not true but it is still out there.

More sophisticated antigun proponents acknowledge that now but argue that the show is a concentrated point for dubious private sales. Thus the show facilitates bad folks making easy gun purchases and is an attractive nuisance. Such arguments have been made by cities to close down shows in city controlled venues. It has also led to calls for all sales at a show to go through a NICS check - even person to person.

Thus, if you want to counter the arguments:

1. You need to correct the first point

2. You need to argue why the private sales at shows are OK with no NICS check. Remember that some states want all sales, even private, to go through background checks.

Thus, there is technically not a loop hole as there is no requirement in all states for a NICS check on all sales. But that won't influence the second point in argument.
