But that's exactly what universal background checks would do. It's not about gun shows at all. "Closing the gun show loophole" is just shorthand for disallowing any private transfers of firearms.
I mean, it's kind of obvious, isn't it? Because if a piece of legislation strictly dealt with gun shows, all you'd have to do is step out to the parking lot and complete the transaction there.
