I have to ask what you’re basing this on? What illlegal Guns did you see? Like I said, I didn’t go to one in a decade, but I was the proverbial “gun nut” in my teens into my 20s and lived at them. I never once saw an illegal firearm. But maybe you saw things I haven’t.
Police have been present at every show I’ve ever been to.
But I’m certainly not opposed to enforcing a federal background check for private sales too.
I may be wrong, but I thought there was a news report showing alot of guys saying 'Oh, I can get that out in my car.' or people exchanging #'s and selling outside the show, in a parking lot Craigslist kinda way.

Yeah, its kind of disgusting the response to this. I'm hearing a lot about karma, getting what they deserve, and evil white men....it feels really exploitive to use this tragedy to push an agenda using people they despised and ridiculed before the shooting. It's sick, twisted and these people should not be taken seriously.
The problem for me is. That the same people who are right now saying ‘now is not the time to have a debate’ are the same people who never really want to discuss this in first place. There’s never a good time for it.

You can buy anything you want a gun show. Just show some cash. My buddy bought an AK47 from one and handed the dude straight cash. No questions asked.
The AR 15 seems the be the weapon of choice in mass shootings.

Agree. Quit being bitches and discuss the shit. How bump stocks were ever allowed pisses me off.

Why is this guy not considered a terrorist?
Because he doesn't appear to be part of a larger group committed to spreading fear like a traditional terrorist. As of now he stands for nothing.

Not to get into semantics, but you’re buddy didn’t buy an Ak47. He probably bought an SAR-1, which is semi automatic. If he bought an ak47 both he and the seller committed a 1st degree felony. Just as the ar-15 is the civilian variant of the m-16, the sar-1 is the civilian variant of the ak47.
I disagree with the NRA in its opposition to implementing background checks on private sales, but that’s what federal law stipulates.

I'm not talking about that, though. You can't praise the guy on SNL using the term cracker, and ridicule "country" people, then turn around and use *exploit* them to advance your agenda. Libs need to check themselves when they go off on white men like a bigot goes off on Muslims.
