>There's no way the NRA would let this loophole get closed, right?

They might, since people making rifles at home aren't buying rifles from manufacturers. Licensed FFLs don't use this 'loophole', it exists for private unlicensed people to use or abuse. A common criticism of the NRA is that it prioritizes manufacturer interests. For instance, (from what I've seen, correct me if I'm wrong) the NRA doesn't seem to do a very good job at protesting import bans that harm collectors but benefit manufacturers.
