Here in the east the anti gunners have been properly schooled in regards to imposing their will on Pennsylvanians.

NRA is now the proud backer of the show.

More information here.

Another article about the Saxet gun show.

This IS happening in Texas, right?

Austin, which is in Travis county. The one blue cancer dot in central Texas.

Since 2010? I was going to the Saxet gun show in Austin between 2000 and 2007... There were two different locations. One East of 35 and one off of Lamar if I remember correctly. The one location grew to be too small, so they switched venues.

From what I remember, the big dealers and local gun shops with a presence all ran the NICS check. Private sellers wandering around were relatively few.

Looks like they’ll be switching venues again... Dumb move by Travis Co... They’re gonna lose out on the revenue.

A regular gun show that has been a staple of Austin, Texas, since 2010

So, for literally ones of years.

I was held at other venues for years, including one in downtown Austin. It has been at the Expo center since 2010. Poorly written article to say the least.

They want background checks so they can get registration.

The gun show will be somewhere else.

“It’s in Austin. That’s not part of the real Texas.”

As NYC, Ithaca and Albany are not part of the real New York? Los Angeles and San Francisco are not part of the real California?

Sadly, we will watch more and more of Texas and my own new state of Arizona being drawn into the folds of the queers.

There is a HUGE contingent of proactive conservatives behind enemy walls having their rights TRAMPLED! as the left progresses.

“Dumb move by Travis Co... They’re gonna lose out on the revenue.”

To the leftist, legal revenue is not at all important compared to the agenda. At least they have some principles they won’t compromise...

“Where are the Texan freepers who regularly express their hatred for me because I live in NY State?”

Austin is the pimple on Texas’ a$$ just as NYC is for New York state. Actually, Houston and San Antonio are too. Don’t know about DFW.
