Universal background checks have nothing to do with gun shows. Its about abolishing the private transfer of firearms between law abiding individuals.
A background check will also require a 4473 which creates a paper trail and increases cost.

So true. Years ago I went to a BIG gun show and before I left I had traded for several guns and traded off several. wheeled and dealed, left in the evening with a new firearm and a few dollars to boot. I had traded around at least five or six firearms before the day was out.
Now, think about how many “background” checks I and the person I was trading with would have had to make.
