Buying a gun isn't good enough?

[Gaffer]

At least a dozen private dealers meandered through the expansive exhibition center on Friday with secured assault-style weapons slung over their shoulders. Cardboard signs taped to rods stuck out of their gun’s barrel. One read: “AR-15, 5.56mm, Make me an offer!”

Nope, no intentional lying here....no mischaracterization at all! Just a completely unbiased report.

Sick of the price gougers. I know, I know, it’s market capitalism, but there’s no reason 40 s&w should cost 25+ per box.

Since 2008, the price of the D.C.-area gun show has been $12. This weekend the price was raised to $13 per day.

Wow!! The price went up by a whole buck over a 5-year time span. (And it's the last thing mentioned in the article.)

42 round clip for an AR? Maybe if you have strong thumbs. ???

Our local show this weekend went from $8 per to $10 per. The plac e was packed, as usual. I sold a .45 acp pistol but didn’t find a buyer for the 9mm Sub 2000 with two 35 rd mags and a 12 rd mag + barrel mount with red alser and grip attachment plus cgarging handle device. I was twice offered $850 for it, so the $950 I had on it was probably right. Selling it and an AR 15 psitol with CMMG piston kit on it tomorrow.

Private dealer? Is that like an amateur doctor?

And they always talk about background checks stopping the mentally ill. How is that possible when there is no reporting and no database of the mentally ill?

I just got back from this. It was a nice father and son trip. It was packed, I learned a lot, and the NRA got two new members (free admission to the show if you join up).

What’s a “private dealer”?

Is there ONE literate journalist in this country? Do they ever even proof read their copy?

[Boomer One]

Now I’m mad at the NRA. They’ve never offered me the $300 deal for a lifetime membership!

Signs at several gun tables cautioned potential buyers from purchasing a weapon with the intention of then selling it privately to someone forbidden from buying the gun: a process known as straw purchasing. The signs warned that such actions could carry 10-year jail sentences with them if the straw buyer is caught.

You mean like the BATF was encouraging with fast and furious?

Many thanks to the good people of the “Nation’s Gun Show” ... Hats off to ‘em... and many thanks from law biding citizens of this great country.
