It might not be a loophole currently, but I see this as something this administration might look into changing.
I could see them making the seller do a background check on the person buying the gun in order to transfer it. It probably wouldn't be that hard to setup the ATF or FBI to handle this type of program for non gun dealers. Maybe they would just have to go to a licensed gun dealer to get a certificate stating that they are able to buy a gun and the seller has to do the same thing so they know that the other person is able to buy a gun.
