What are the other loopholes?

I believe the are exceptions for gun shows or some sort of gun market sales (with the excuse being that in this market setting the transaction needs to immediately go through to "facilitate commerce").

Quick search on one of my sources on Mexican cartels:

https://insightcrime.org/news/us-mexico-border-hemorrhaging-weapons/

https://insightcrime.org/news/lack-us-gun-control-record-bloodshed-mexico/

A Houston Chronicle investigation in August 2020 tracked 27 weapons used in a Coahuila cartel shootout to southern Texas, where authorities discovered that one straw purchaser had bought 156 weapons over a six-month period from the same gun shop.

Perhaps I am misremember on the gun sales shows, but the articles do state that experts believes both laws and customs in US enable massive trafficking of guns.
