Prince Yamato, I don't see a Gun Show Loophole but I am adamantly opposed to the Flea Market Loophole and the Garage Sale Loophole (aka the Tag Sale Loophole) and I simply do not care what anyone else thinks. Far too many goods are sold at flea markets and from people's garages, homes, and lawns. Criminals buy them. Criminals sell them. No one charges or pays sales tax on them, thereby robbing our governments of money desperately needed to fund legislators' junkets.
These unregulated goods include knives that can be used to murder people. They include clocks and watches that can be used to make explosive devices. They include garments that can be used as disguises by criminals. There is no telling what other infernal materials are sold because of these black market operations. They corrupt the youth. And also the young. I have personally witnessed the sale of potentially dangerous devices such as flashlights (which criminals use when robbing people's homes), electric drills (which they use to drill people's safes), and television sets (which they use to study the methods of law enforcement on broadcasts such as Monk, COPS, CSI, and other indiscrete revelations).
I am not opposed to legitimate free enterprise and I do not have any intention of controlling people, but until we get these people under control the problem of crime in this country will remain and increase. The Brady Campaign does nothing at all to stop this senseless behavior and the BATFE ignores it entirely, even though many of these sales include old whiskey bottles, cigarette lighters, toy guns, and pictures of horrible explosions that make my stomach turn. Left.
