Apparently it's a foreign word.
In the land of Democratia they use it to mean "freedom"
Idiom: "closing a loophole" means "taking away a freedom"
Democrats seem to look for "loopholes" to "close" as a pastime or hobby.
Example: dishwasher "loophole" - you may re-sell your used dishwasher without reporting it's serial number and transaction to the government database
Gun show "loophole" and "private gun sale transaction loophole" same as "dishwasher loophole" but pertaining to used guns instead of used dishwashers
Yard sale used clothing "loophole" see above and figure it out
I understand there's a "loophole" where a person licensed to drive in Texas may operate a motor vehicle in some other States now ... someone needs to stop that. If we don't nip this in the bud, Texas will have people with drivers licenses issued in other States wanting to operate motor vehicles in Texas. We can't have this willy-nilly type freedom, these loopholes need closing. There is nothing in the Bill of Rights about a right to keep and operate motor vehicles, especially in States which did NOT issue them a license to own or operate a vehicle in that State
