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 nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
