I agree there is no loophole, private sales are private sales. However, once you rent a table and display firearms to the general public and sell them, you are dealing in firearms, not an occaisonal sale to your buddy or cousin.
There is absolutely nothing hindering any show promoter from requiring all sales at the show be run through a NICS check by one or more of the FFL dealers also at the show.
We have club shows up here, open to the public, but only members may purchase. Membership includes a NICS check. Once you get the member badge, you are free to purchase all you want without further checks, unless you purchase from an FFL holder.
Not to mention there is a police presence at every show I've seen, what's preventing the officer from running the checks?
To me, this is an issue promoters and the NRA should be proactive on, not defensive.
