Reply #56: A post I made on the subject yesterday: [View All]

For a loophole to exist, there must regulations or laws that the loophole is legally circumventing.
The first definition I found by googling: Loophole - A way of escaping a difficulty, especially an omission or ambiguity in the wording of a contract or law that provides a means of evading compliance.

A loose example, Cars driven on public roads must be registered/licensed. One such loophole might be, "If the vehicle is designated as a work or farming vehicle, it may drive across the road or travel along the road a short distances to allow access to separate worksites/properties."
(I paraphrased, more or less. But laws exist that allow unregistered farming/business vehicles to access public roads to aces separate parts of one's property.)

In the case of an individual selling private guns, since there is no federal requirement for private sellers to have an FFL (and there has never been a requirement or permit of any kind) to sell firearms from a private collection... how can a "Loophole" exist. There are no federal laws limiting the sale of private guns by private persons without FFLs, so how can there be difficulties, omissions, ambiguities, or contractual agreements to "evade/escape".

You understand that are proposing the existence of a loophole whose purpose is to circumvent NONexistant laws.
That's stupid. There is no such thing as the Gunshow Loophole. It's a word game played by fear mongers because the term "private seller" does not sound menacing enough.
