I'm not surprised. Just maybe there aren't that many private sales at gun shows.
I have never seen more than a couple dozen individuals peddling guns at gun shows, and they typically have high priced collector items or are asking considerable more than the guns are worth. Most of the sales by individuals that I have seen at gun shows were sales to vendors who presumably are licensed FFC holders.
Of course the news account completely dismissed this possibility in favor of the reporters biased opinion that gun owners are avoiding the instant check system for private sales. |

Surveys of convicts show that very, very, few obtained their weapon at gun shows. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
