The so called gun show loophole right?

Yep, since they’re considered private dealers they’re not required to do a background check (admittedly, the same thing applies to pretty much anyone who doesn’t have a FFL (federal firearms license) regardless of the point of sale).

But when you sell a firearm to a family member or post an ad in the newspaper or your employer’s bulletin board, you’re not advertising the fact that no background check is required as most of the private sellers at gunshows do.
