Your information is correct ONLY as it applies to licensed firearms dealers. It doesn't apply to private sales, or gun shows in Texas. Anyone can buy a gun at a gun show, no background check, no license or ID necessary.

At gun shows the vast majority of sellers are federally licensed gun dealers and are required to follow federal law regarding background checks. There is absolutely no "loop hole" that allows them to not perform checks.
Yes, there are private individuals selling guns, from their private collection, at gun shows and under federal law are not required to do a background check. Also federal law makes it a felony for a prohibited person to purchase, own, or possess a firearm. So who is breaking the law, the private seller who is complying with federal law or the prohibited person who is illegally buying a firearm?
It is also illegal for a private seller to sell guns as a business without obtaining a federal license. They can legally sell private collection firearms, but when it goes beyond selling a gun or multiple guns in the collection to fund another gun for their collection, it becomes a business and violation of federal law.
Additionally, private individuals are not allowed access to the NICS federal database so how are they to perform a background check? Many licensed gun dealers aren't going to be willing to take their time to perform a background check for a private seller when the dealer will derive no revenue for the service.
I suppose a law could be drafted that would allow access to the NICS database but do you want any Tom, Dick and Harry to be able to do a background check on OBB? A law could be passed that requires licensed dealers to perform the check but who will set the price for that service? If the price is too high and too time consuming or icredibilly inconvenient, a lot of private sellers will ignore the check and just sell the firearm.
OBB, you need to do a deeper Google search for your information.
