The "gun show loophole" is anti code for the end of private sale.

Finally. People are beginning to see this for what it is.

The biggest loophole around, in the Antigunners minds, is the Second Amendment.

Welcome. Please use your new-found perspective to convince at least two...er FIVE others to your new point of view and ask them to do likewise. This is the least you can do for having been so misguided in the past. You will also have more credibility having just come from the dark side.

I mean this. Please do it. Don't make me beg and make a scene.

I have been circulating a petition to John Ashcroft to overrule Gray Davis and the other gun haters in this state with the laws they are making to infringe our 2nd Amendment rights. Take a look at it and sign it if you support the right to keep and bear arms in California.

...very few voters had ever attended a gun show, so it was easy to portray these harmless middle class gatherings as wretched hives of scum and villainy.

This quote reminded me of the Star Wars movie :-)

I have attended many gunshows and they are great places for patriots to gather.

That is why you need to join the GUN SHOW PROTECTION UNION now! The anti-gunners hate the fact that 20,000,000 people can gather and have a good time talking about THEM. Gun Shows are an American PASTIME! More people attend gun shows every weekend than the Super Bowl and the World Series game combined! That's why they want to shut us down, it is not all about guns!

It will be interesting to see if the media takes note of the remarkable fact that less than one criminal in a hundred obtained their guns at gun shows.

But if closing the loophole saves just one life it's the right thing to do. However, for an anti-gunner to champion that line they have to bring attention to the fact that gun shows are not a Guns-R-Us for criminals -- not to mention that the "if it save even one life" line lost it's effectiveness way back when Clinton was still getting hummers in the White House.

I will attend the gunshows to support gunshows. I go everytime I can and I think that is better than joining a union. Am I right?
