Original Note:
Gun shows do not have special exemptions for background checks. The "gun show loophole" describes the exemption from background checks for sales between 2 non-FFLs. Limitations on private sales/who must register as a FFL exist and were strengthened by the Biden administration. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/08/31/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-takes-another-life-saving-step-to-keep-guns-out-of-dangerous-hands/
