Who cares what you’ve seen? Nobody is interested in the pinkie promises of the pro-gun community – they want actual regulations with actual enforcement but every step of the way, corporate interests and useful idiots are there to block them.
Background checks are optional. Gun safety is optional. This is what the pro-gun community insists on time and time again.
Except no. Background checks by FFLs are required. There is no gun show loophole. There is a private sale loophole (which is sometimes exploited at gun shows, but is not exclusive to them). This confusion in terminology is pointing to the wrong problem.
If you want to make effective regulations, then you need to understand what regulations already exist, how guns work, and how loopholes are exploited. Otherwise, you get another AWB that bans a bunch of cosmetic features that really don’t matter.
Semantic bullshit designed to drag out the conversation instead of addressing the problem. Nobody has gloves in their glove compartment but everybody knows what the glove compartment is.
Multiple attempts have been made to close this loophole and have been blocked by the pro-gun community, rendering background checks optional – if you don’t want your background checked, buy privately.

There is no gun control legislation that the pro-gun crowd will support. It doesn’t matter how minor, or how perfectly written.

No problem, we’ll just ban all sales of semi-automatic weapons and firearms under a certain length (such as revolvers). After 20+ years, it’s clear the pro-gun crowd has no solution.
You don’t have to convince the pro-gun crowd. You have to convince a political majority. Starting that fight without knowing what you’re talking about matters.
I just have to wait. One day, the millions of school children that Republicans, gun owners and the gun lobby sold out will have to send their own children to school.
