Gun shows are Sen. Dave Min, D-Costa Mesa biggest worry?

Gun shows at the state fair could soon be a thing of the past in California.
A proposed law would ban the sale of firearms or ammunition on state property, effectively barring gun shows from being held at any of California’s 73 state fairgrounds.
Senate Bill 915, introduced by Sen. Dave Min, D-Costa Mesa, was unveiled Thursday. The bill has yet to be assigned to a committee, but Min said in an interview with The Sacramento Bee that he expects it to go before the Senate Public Safety Committee first.
“County fairgrounds are supposed to be family-friendly venues and have long been associated with events like county fairs, 4-H events, rodeos and music festivals. However, they have become most well-known for gun shows,” Min said in a statement announcing the bill.. “This needs to change, and this bill will finally get California out of the business of government-sponsored gun shows. While the Second Amendment allows for the well-regulated sales and purchase of firearms, the Constitution does not require that taxpayer-owned properties be used to facilitate those transactions,”
Min acknowledged that the U.S. Supreme Court has taken a strong position on the Second Amendment, but said “that doesn’t mean the state of California has to actively profit off of the sale of those guns.”

Nice try quiz kid. Well-regulated in the Second does not mean buried in red tape.
The Fairplex in Pomona, where the LA County Fair is held, and is the site of many gun shows, is not owned by the State of California. I don’t think the OC Fairgrounds are either.

I’m pretty sure I’ve never read “the right to bear arms But only at the discretion of liberals who hate firearms, who will,severely restrict,where and when one can buy them”

The OC Fairgrounds is owned by the state. Crossroads of the West and other gun shows have been banned from there since 2021.

Umm...said...what?
The Constitution? Of where? Liberal Fantasy Land?
So is Kalifornia declaring a Sales Tax Holiday on all firearms and ammunition sales?
Graphic proof that when keeping warm requires a lot of labor, the entitlement army heads to warm climates!
That won’t stop crime. Criminals are still going to get their guns with the approval and blessing of the democrat party.
Indeed it’s strange what some call progress.
I didn’t look that one up. I did like up Fairplex though.
Looks like their still having shows in Bakersfield, Ontario, and Ventura.
I don’t think I’ve ever went to a state fair to buy guns I usually go there to look at roosters.
Exactly, it meant trained, competent; i.e. The local blacksmith was a well-regulated fellow.
I resolved to never set foot on the L.A. Fairgrounds ever since they banned the Great Western Gun Show. F*%@ ‘em...
Seems Ca. is again violating the Constitution.
