There are 33 states in which private gun owners are not restricted from selling guns at gun shows. Again that only applies to licensed firearms dealers. Right back at you. I live in one of those 33 states, and when I bought my first gun at a gun show, they called the Feds. After that, I got a concealed carry permit, so they no longer have to call it in as the card is proof I passed a background check. People don't run booths at gun shows unless they are dealers. It costs money to set up a booth and run it for 3 or 4 days, and if you want to earn any money you have to have guns to sell. What you WILL see, is the occasional guy walking around with a rifle over his shoulder with a flag sticking out of the barrel with a "for sale" sign on it. Again, you've obviously never been to a gun show, just like the Mayor of New York. Edited by Golfboy, 27 December 2012 - 06:06 PM.
