TUCSON, Ariz. -- Thousands of weapons enthusiasts, many openly packing heat, crammed into an Arizona gun show chock full of high-powered rifles and semiautomatic pistols yesterday -- a mere 13 miles away from last weekend's rampage.
Despite the 4,500 who filed into the Crossroads of the West Gun Show at the Pima County Fairgrounds throughout the day, a donation box at the entrance for the six dead and 13 wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, sat nearly empty.
The audacious showing came as Giffords continued her miraculous recovery, with doctors removing her ventilator by inserting a tube in her windpipe to allow her to breathe without the help of machines.
Some 7,000 people are expected to attend the two-day gun extravaganza that features more than 100 vendors hawking massive arsenals of AK-47s, assault weapons, sniper gear and ammo.

Are these idiots serious?
The silver lining from this tragedy is that more and more normal, decent people are seeing Leftists for the utter hysterical morons which they are...
Blocks from Ground Zero is “nowhere near Ground Zero,” but “a mere 13 miles” from “the rampage” is just too close for comfort?
Unbelievable. How do they reconcile such hypocrisy?
I really, really think it's Union Rule. All firearm articles shall be written by an ignoramus female.
Months? Try like a year ago. I play the Pima County Fair in April. That 13 miles is a LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG 13 miles. Heck, you might as well be in Benson. Go a few miles furthur, (intended), and you can see THE THING!
Liberals don’t like people exercising their constitutional rights? F*uck them! I think a censored profanity is quite appropriate.
For the life of me, I can’t see what they’re doing wrong at the gun show. Can you?
For liberals, killing people is understandable. They go NUTS when people actually deign to DEFEND themselves!
Fail! A real redneck hardcore gunner would have CATFISH on the puter screen not Koi. LOL
I know! What about all the cops “packing heat”!
I actually did see a WWII era flame-thrower at a Dallas gun show, in the downtown convention center, once. But it was a Class III item, I bet.
Another lib writer attacking gun owners.
Nice touch from colleen on the donation box angle. Leftists are so shameless when it comes to guilt-tripping. It must come from an intense sense of self-loathing.
Per usual, that would be a big fat ZERO. Libs don't donate to charity, they expect tax payers to donate, then they blithely stand by and complain tax payers haven't donated enough.
You wanna bet the wannabe libtard reporterette did a map distance check and did not actually attend the event? Probably sat in the bar somewhere and had some other non attendee tell her about it, come to think of it, like most litard reporters reporting on war.
The fairgrounds are on the other side of town from the shooting site. More lies and distortions from the whorehouse media.
Gun shows are evil. Kumbaya lovefests are good.
Only in the liberal Twilight Zone.

To be precise, the dems wanted Giffords to die. Look at how quickly and gleefully CNN falsely reported her death. What a wonderful martyr she would have been to use to demogogue the masses. Too bad for the 'rats, she turned out to be as tenacious as their press releases said she was.
