dk...i'm not going to argue semantics.

And, I have no problem with private sellers selling guns out of their home w/o background checks....I do have a problem with such sales at organized gun shows.

The fact remains that many criminals know how easy it is to get a gun at a gun show w/o fear of a background check.

Mexican drug cartels buy thousands of guns illegally at gun shows (in Texas?).

A number of states require background checks on all gun sales at gun shows. The fact that the federal law does not have that requirement and everyone knows it...the shady dealers (not the honest private collectors), the criminals, the mentally ill......

Such a provision infringes on no one's rights.
