A source for where the word was initially used as an intentionally deceptive term. It appears the term pre-dates the Brady Act, so it also pre-dates my political awareness (I was in high school in the early 90s). Here's a documented case of the gun show loophole in practice at a gun show as recently as 2019... https://gunsandamerica.org/story/19/01/29/what-the-so-called-gun-show-loophole-really-looks-like/ https://gunsandamerica.org/story/19/01/29/what-the-so-called... This practice was closed by the Safer Communities Act in 2022. But, in the majority of states, this doesn't prevent a buyer from legally purchasing a gun from a private seller. Like I said above, it's a stupid name, especially given the changes in 2022, and I'm happy to call it "private sale legal quirk" or whatever you want. Changing the common name doesn't change the underlying law - private sales are unregulated at the federal level - and that (IMO) is silly - either the sale of guns should be regulated or it shouldn't (obviously I fall on the regulated side).
