Anyone who has any doubt about how much people love firearms wasn't trying to find a parking spot anywhere near Expo Center on Saturday.
Individuals from all over the United States and even some foreign countries were at the fairgrounds to attend the Wanenmacher's Tulsa Arms Show, an event that continues on Sunday with a session from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Show manager Joe Wanenmacher said the semi-annual event usually draws between 35,000 to 40,000 people over the course of a weekend. He said he wouldn't be surprised if attendance reached 50,000 by closing time on Sunday.
Wanenmacher said he believes concerns over proposed measures like universal background checks are leading people to make purchases while they can.
He said though the concept might seem like a good idea to some, there is concern among many that it's the first step toward eventual confiscation of firearms from the general public.
"Universal background checks won't prevent crime," Wanenmacher said.
Wanenmacher said President Barack Obama is the "most anti-gun president we've ever had."
Many who attended last November's edition of the show expressed their concerns that Obama would attempt to get more restrictive gun laws on the books during his second term because he no longer has to worry about re-election.

But, but, but....king hussein says the polls show the majority of Americans favor his view. Uh, sorry barry 1,972 likely voters don’t cut it when compared to REAL folks voting with their wallets. Dunce cap to you.
I haven’t been to the Wanenmacher show for several years. No money.
The show is a great event, any gun enthusiasts should try to go at least once. When Oklahoma was in my sales territory, I made sure to be there in April and October.
Same here.
Proof of the Seond Amendment:
have you ever seen a cop arrest anyone at a gunshow?
The politicians know the cops can`t do anything hardly to prevent crime.
Ergo they want to criminalize easy law-abiding citizens targets so the cops will have something to do.
Then the politician communists can crow about crime prevention coz they created the criminals and caught them in the same “law” before they could commit crime.
A living kangaroo court is the essence of the SAFE act.
This amounts to placing people under suspicion when the police have no evidence of suspicious activity. This is illegal.
Ergo the SAFE ACT is illegal.

Barry Soetoro, aka B. Hussein Obama, 5 days before the end of GWB’s Presidential term, told ‘The Gullible’ the following: “We are five days away from FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!”
Going on 5 years now, the best friends that Obama could have had to help him achieve his above stated dastardly goal were the RINO leaderships in the US House and Senate, AND THEY ARE STILL IN POWER!
