Hm, there's some very different posts here. The shows in Somerset here in KY I went to a few years ago had a lot of private sellers with no paperwork in sight. Most tables have to do paperwork now tho as a lot more sellers are FFLs.

Being ready is not what matters. What matters is winning after you get there.

The "gun show loophole" is a referrence to the private sellers - yes. But this is entirely legal and not limited to gun shows at all. Any two people can exchange a firearm within a state. That is, if they are both residents - and that's entirely legal. Still is in most states.

In Georgia they do a background check if they are a FFL dealer. No private citizen is required to do one and a bill of sale is not required either.
I can sell guns from my personal collection on my front lawn all day long.
I can also do this at local gun shows. Buy a table, set it up and sell, sell, sell.
No FFL, no nothing.
I haven't done it, but know others who do.
Many States cannot regulate this activity except through new manufacturers.
Personal collections, it's open range.
I have bought a 1903 Springfield, and M1 Garand, at Gun Show, no paper of any kind.
Loophole?
Enough to dock the USS Oklahoma at least.
