Looks like they managed to find a Fudd to quote.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School cast its shadow. Yeah that’s why sales were doubled for some venders. You just know the only reason the NYT was there was because they just knew attendance would be down.

Remington, one of the oldest gun makers in the country, said it was preparing to declare bankruptcy.

This is what the Times really wants: free enterprise failure, unemployment increase, loss in stock market investments, decreased manufacturing jobs, etc.

And very little, basically no, discussion about the perpetrator himself. Mind you, some mention of broken families and care for the mentally ill as per some people the Times talked to. But we certainly would not expect anything more (or less) from the Times, would we?

Those responsible for the massacre are the democrat politicians, especially the black democrat politicians

This is a political statement and is not racist

This push for gun control will add another million guns to the nation’s civilian stockpile. Obama’s reign of error added several million, making the total an estimated 340,000,000, but many more probably exist.

The Left can never disarm U.S. patriots, but they will never quit trying.

Kathy Fox, who was helping at a booth with collectible Winchester rifles exhibited upright on a turntable, said she was pleased that Representative Brian Mast, a Republican and Army veteran, who represents her district in Florida, had called for a ban....

Fire her stupid ass.

I went to the local gun show here in Reno and the place was absolutely packed, 20-30 people in line to pay for admission.

Not necessarily. The Fudd is strong in a few gun dealers.

See post 11. I went both days actually. Saturday was absolutely packed. They should expand the area for the show. Bought some ammo and stuff, then gave up getting around because it was so full. Went back Sunday, crowded but no so much.

There’s a gun show four times a year at the fairgrounds in Springfield, MO.
It’s always packed, wall to wall people and guns.

I prefer the gun show at Lebanon, MO. Smaller crowd but just as enthusiatic...

The Times completely glossed over the mass shooting that occurred at the gun show.

The punk had nothing to do with the event. It was all AR all the time. That’s how they are portraying it. Poor(sad depressed on meds etc) kid, evil gun. So, when an LEO has to shoot someone, why isn’t the weapon to blame then?

I work part-time in a gun shop.
We were so busy Saturday I lost track of how many guns I sold.
