*are convicted of possessing a firearm on school property with the intent to use it, or displaying it in a threatening manner;
*are convicted of possessing a firearm and Schedule I or II drugs such as cocaine or heroin, or convicted of possessing more than a pound of marijuana with the intent to sell."

There is no such thing as a "gun show loophole".

Any firearm purchased from a FFL (Federal Firearms Dealer) requires a background check, either at the time of sale or for those of us who have permits, the background check was done when we applied for the permit.

Any transfer of firearms across state lines has to go through a FFL.

In-state transfers of firearms between individuals is governed by state law, which varies from state to state and I suspect any change in that would be strongly resisted by the states, less because of the firearm part and more because it would set legal precedent under the Commerce clause and would further allow the Federal government to affect in-state activities.
