I see that you say there is no loophole, and that dc_dux says that there is one.
What is the supposed issue, and why does it not exist?

The issue is thus:
licensed FFLs must perform a NICS background check on any purchaser, whether in their shop or at a gunshow event. A single individual, selling his own personal property, can walk around this same gunshow event with a sign attached to his personal property (gun) indicating it's for sale. If someone wants to buy from that private individual, neither the seller or buyer must be subject to a background check.
There is zero constitutional authority to require any sort of background check before a person sells a piece of his own private and personal property.
