All this news about Dicks not selling ARs and the gun show not allowing them is music to the ears for all these small Mom and Pop gun shops scattered accros the land. It is always nice to buy from them anyway. I have purchased all my guns from small shops.

That ought to be a great show (he said sarcastically)... lots more room on the tables for clapped-out shotguns and old bolt-action rifles too ugly to pawn.

This is right in my backyard. I’m going to call the organizers and tell them what I think of this cowardly act.

Instead of attending, maybe hang out front with some protest signs:

Planned Parenthood says
“Forceps, not guns!”

NAACP says
“Take their guns!”

Teenagers say
“Ban guns!”

Newscasters say
“Ban full-semi-autos!”

Everyone should learn to build AR’s - it’s easy and fun. My next project is picking up a 3D printer and manufacturing my own lowers. Lots of videos of printed lowers in action on YouTube. Some of the builders say they’ve run 2000 rounds through them without failure.

“61 percent of American voters support a nationwide ban on AR-15s.”

The “tyranny of the majority” is a thing, which the Founding Fathers worked to suppress. I don’t care if it’s 99% - individuals have the right to possess tools to preserve their own (& dependents’) lives.

"As it’s at the DuPage County Fairgrounds, I strongly suspect some gubbermint weasel insisted that they do this as the price of retaining their event permit."

You sir, are completely correct. I live 1.5 miles from those fairgrounds. Have been going to this show for 45 years. But I boycotted attending last weekend because of the "ban". The renewal of the contract for the show with the fair grounds association is next year, and this sportsman's group is "walking on egg shells".

I talked to a number of friends who did attend and set up tables for things to sell at the show. They allowed AR-15 lowers, At-15 uppers, etc. But no complete guns. Its all Kabuki.

SHAME ON THOSE AR 15’S
FOR WHAT HAPPENED AT THE PARKSIDE SCHOOL BLAME GUNS
PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT POLICIES FAILURES MUST BE HIDDEN
The inability to counter this perverted agenda created by the democratic party ( in name only) goose stepping adherents in the media and must be contested. So they make up it is guns and the NRA garbage through their swill mills

DON’T MENTION THIS
A dramatic reduction in disciplinary incidents at Parkside were reported after the selection of Obama’s Chicago friend as school superintendent occurred which was publicly acclaimed.and was receiving large grant from Obama’s Attorney General because of those results. That many critics claimed encouraged criminal activity. Which should require Trump Administration US Attorney General beside find out why when the FBI knew that Cruz should not be able to purchase weapons did. And review these grant programs instituted by the previous Obama administration.

Sources for the formulation of this report come from postings from newspaper and television stations placed in Free Republic by volunteers during the period of Feb 14th to the 25th

Why did the Illinois gun show ban SINGLE SHOT rifles?

By the way, from now on I am referring to semi-auto firearms, like a typical rifle before OR after a Bumpfire stock is installed, as a single-shot rifle, since one single trigger pull = one single shot. FULL autos would be multi-shot. Beat’em at their word games!
