Gun Shows Across the Nation Draw Record Crowds,

Gun shows across the nation have experienced record turnout, even as the federal gun control push has hit a major roadblock.

April gun shows - both before and after the Senate killed the Toomey-Manchin bill - have seen record crowds, as many fear the debate over the Second Amendment is not yet over.

But, but, but what about the 90%? Just how many people make up the other 10%? Haven't gone to a gun show in a couple of months due to the long lines to get in and the lack of products I'm lookin' for at reasonable prices. There's one coming up May 4-5 at the Reno Convention Center so maybe will give it a look. Last one took about an hour to get in at certain times of the day.

Am going to the Berea, Ohio, gun show this weekend to get a handgun. I’m already in the NRA and intend to get a concealed carry very soon.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the guns shows I’ve attended these past few months may have tens of thousands of law-abiding gun owners and fans, but there are very very few of Obambi’s sons at any of them . . . maybe half dozen if that. Wonder why!

Any FReepers headed to Houston for the NRA show in May?

Oh the carnage..don’t people know that guns will get up on their own and shoot people?..I have been watching a lot of msm news and that’s what I have deduced..I bet an enterprising mortician is setting up shop next door..obviously in cahoots with the NRA..

“The Nation’s Gun Show” in Chantilly, VA had a nice (bigger than its historical average, IMO) turn out this past weekend. Ammo is in short supply and relatively expensive. Some vendors had 5.56mm, 7.62mm, and .45ACP in eastern European brands I have not seen before. $1/round for 5.56mm M193 is a bit high. Small pistol primers were available from two vendors. Powder is still a bit spotty.

New Yorker Mountain Hillbillies here are headed for Vermont gunshow this weekend for more guns and ammo so we can ACT SAFE.

I hit a gun show this weekend in CT...the first one since our liberties were torn to shreds by the democrat majority with the CT “assault weapon” and “Hi-cap” magazine ban.

It was truly sad. The only things available were bayonets, antiques, bolt-action rifles, a few single-stack pistols and old Archie comics.

CT is reduced to museum pieces and pointy pieces of metal. Don’t let this happen to your State.

Wow! I truly sympathize. We have a gun show coming up May 4th and 5th. Even though I don’t really need anything right now, I may go, just to see what the current situation is.

"...even as the federal gun control push has hit a major roadblock."

It turned around and went home.

I went Sunday morning.

Pleny of ammo in most calibers, except .22LR.

Dealer from FLA said he brought 100,000 rounsd of .22 and was gone quickly.

Surprised to see the number of AR15s available, and at much lower prices than have seen over the past 2 months.
