Surely there were hundreds of shooting deaths with such a critical mass of firearms and people. Did the media cover it up?
I've been to some really big gunshows, but never anything like this.
Did you see the protestors, dressed in pink, and chanting, “Ban assault weapons today!”
I got 1,000 round of 9mm for 23 cents per round. In July it was 21 cents each. Not bad.
I got 500 .45 cal for .34 cents each, again, not bad.
I have been going to that show for 10 years and have never once waited in line for even 10 seconds. This was truly amazing.
Will O be calling in tens of thousands of UN troops to round up all of these weapons, or will he be using Homeland Security brownshirts?
Makes me feel so good when I read this sort of thing.
I have a feeling that a new assault weapons ban isn't as inevitable as it first seemed. A lot has changed since DiFi’s first crack at it in ‘94.
For one, 49 of the 50 states now have some form of concealed carry, and the modern sporting rifle (otherwise known as the AR) has been the single most popular type of rifle sold in the past 5 years.
Call your congresscritter and voice your displeasure at any potential gun or magazine ban.
Good luck with your *going Galt*!
We were in Cabela’s last week. The wait for permit approval was well over 2 hours. The store had set up rows and rows of folding chairs [it looked much like the DMV] and they were serving complimentary coffee to folks waiting.
It was inspiring. Wish there was a way to poll the people on how they voted, among the customers.
This can not be possible. All I see on tee vee is weapons being turned into local authorities, tables full of them displayed neatly, mostly those awful ASSAULT RIFLES & HANDGUNS. I see nothing like you describe in the’news’. There is a gun show in Melbourne, FL tomorrow. I’m going to go over there to confirm your story. This is a regular show that normally overflows the parking lot - we shall see if what you witnessed repeats here tomorrow (I don’t need to attend the show, I’m good).
Back when Carl Rowan (extreme liberal journalist) shot a kid that was skinny dipping in the pool behind his DC house (with an illegal gun there), someone came up with a cartoon that showed a bunch of NRA guys carrying him overhead, as if he was their Super Bowl winning coach. Rowan was then shown screaming “...I SAID PUT ME DOWN!!!”.
Likewise, perhaps another cartoon where we replace Rowan with Obama and the NRA with “Gun Manufacturers”?
This is indicative of a huge cultural movement and the GOP is totally missing out on it.
catpuppy! I found your bear!
I was there. We parked in the Holiday Inn parking lot. Got in line halfway around the building till an NRA rep told us to renew our membership for $30 and we walked to the front of the line.
Living in Merryland we can’t buy hicap mags which was the mission of the day. They were scalping them for more that double the cost. My only solace is Brownells is sold out of all of them.
Surefire 60rd $200
Magpul 30rd $40
Glock 31rd $80
All this frenzy about getting armed is encouraging to me. It lets me know that there are significant numbers of people who believe in the constitution and are exercising their right to keep and bear arms. This has to be scaring the piss out of liberals who until now thought they had us all controlled and on the plantation. They detest it I know, but they also must be aware that they have awakened the patriotic spirit and determination of millions and that scares them. The moral: Never back an opponent into a corner that you cannot defeat.
Trader Jerry’s had a line that wrapped around his table with a 30 minute wait just to pay for their purchase.
Never seen anything like it.
Check our their ammo list - SOLD OUT top to bottom.
Who has the world’s largest Army?

and this just accounts for the registered hunters. You can probably more than double this number for gun owners...and the tens and tens of thousands that have joined the ranks of gun owners since 2009, with a huge push in 2009, another after 6 Nov, and now after Conn...and the enemies-domestic came outof the shute full bore for gun control, using the masacre of those little ones for their agenda.
Hopefuly, the enemies-domestic will heed the advice Hirohito did in WW11 - when he decided against attacking America’s homeland. He was not afraid of the American gov’t or military - but it’s PEOPlE because, they said: Behind every blade of grass is a gun.
I suspicion the plotters are a bit nervous at the ramping up of citizens arming up like never before.
Prices last week in KC started the incredible jump - it’s just going to get worse until this current gun-control stupidity creep gets shut down.
I have a neighbor that builds weapons, mostly custom AR/AK type platforms with other military type fun like 25mm and .50 cal. Got HUGE order last week for several THOUSAND AR-15s. Client expects to do 5 years of business in 6 months.

Yikes! I’m going to my first auction tomorrow and figure I will either overpay for what I want, or turn right back around because of the sheer volume of people.
Wow...
BUMP for great freeping.
Stories like this make me glad I’m already armed to the teeth.
Still want more, though.
Guns and rifles (and ammo!) are a better investment than gold, and more “barterable”.
