Also impressed that they didn't use the term "gun show loophole".

Are you sure about that?
I'm sure I heard the word "loophole" used several times in that story.
I'm glad they also mentioned the fact that sales between (non-dealer) private individuals are legal under VA state law, as well as 30 other states. And such sales also occur in places away from gun shows such as private homes or right out of the trunks of cars.
This points out that banning gun shows will have no effect on legal sales of guns between private individuals.
So what exactly is the "gun show loophole"? if the sales are legal whether they take place at a gun show or somewhere else?
"They either sold me the gun still or they said, 'Pay me 15 more dollars and I'll go without looking at your ID," he replied.
The sheriff also pointed out the number of out of state cars in the parking lot.
Unless anyone has never been to a gunshow before, the uninformed viewers will assume that they're there solely for the purpose of buying a gun to take it across state lines.
Not everyone who goes to a gun show is there to purchase firearms.
It could be for ammo, accessories, parts, beef jerky or simply there to look around, etc. All perfectly legal when crossing state lines
What about all those ne're-do-wells trying to entice gun sellers into illegal transactions and then not reporting their illegal purchase, those buying a gun illegally and complaining about it? Assuming they actually did - not sure I buy douchebag's story there...Or legally buying a long gun where the transaction is legal in both states...
Or buying a handgun to be transferred through an FFL in his home state....
But why spoil the beauty of an argument with facts?
