Is this on a federal level?

Pretty sure straw purchases and gun trafficking are already crimes.

I also cant imagine that the "boyfriend loophole" is much different from the "gunshow loop hole", being that private sales or transfers are not mandated to go through an FFL and a background check in some states.

Edit: Looked it up and the boyfriend loophole is actually that federal laws prohibit someone thats subject to a protective order or has been sentenced for misdemeanor domestic violence from owning a firearm, but only if they are cohabitants or spouses, not in a dating situation.

This actually sounds like a good change when you understand what they are talking about through the obfuscation.
