Personally, I would look for the least biased sources of information for the "gun show loophole". Gun Show Background Checks State Laws

Please read the website that you linked. It clearly states that they consider the "gun show loophole" to be transactions between individuals (Non Federal Firearm License (FFL) holders). When purchasing from an FFL holder, an individual goes through the same background checks, waiting periods, etc, whether the purchase is at a gun show or not. When purchasing from a private seller (Non FFL holder), the transaction is conducted exactly the same, whether the purchase is at a gun show or not. As I said previously, there is not and never has been a gun show loophole that allows an individual to purchase a firearm at a gun show to circumvent the law. Recently, many states have banned sales by private sellers at gun shows. In these cases, even though a private seller may have a table or booth with a few firearms he is trying to sell, the firearm is technically purchased by an FFL holder who then sells it to the buyer, usually for a $20-30 fee. In most states, an individual may still sell a firearm to another individual or pass it down to their children or grandchildren without a background check.
