Gun shows arent a license to sell illegal arms.

Just which arms are illegal under the second amendment? There is not a single gun law in this country which is not un-Constitutional.

When you see someone arrested for a non-violent "gun crime", i.e. merely possesion of a "prohibited weapon", what you are seeing is a crime being commited by an out of control illegitimate government.

This is simply silly. Your right to bear arms ends at my property line. There are no absolute rights. Free speech ends in the crowded movie house. There are reasonable public safety concerns that outweigh individual rights. And while I agree that current laws are more restrictive than necessary, it does not help the cause of repealing them by stating that all gun laws are unconstitutional.

Really? A "prohibited weapon" extends to lots of things. Would you really want Timothy McVeigh to be able to drive his U-Haul of fertilizer bomb material into your neighborhood? Until he detonated it, he was simply driving a U-Haul with a "prohibited weapon." It does not help the cause by arguing that indiviudals have an unlimited right to put others in an unreasonable amount of danger. It's a common law principle that has been around since Magna Carter.
