b.s. Here is Ga. they run background checks in gun shows.
Kaine's legislation would require any private individual selling a firearm to do a background check first, effectively requiring all sales go through a licensed dealer.
There's no such thing as a "private dealer". The reporter (as usual) hasn't a clue.
...only if you're buying from a retail outfit with a booth at the show. There are a fair number of face-to-face private sales at the shows too.
That said, I don't see much distinction between an in-state, FTF transaction whether it's at a gunshow or over an internet equipment exchange or on the tailgate of my truck at the shooting range. This is just more anti-gun bravo sierra.
