I was also surprised at how little security there seemed to be. It occurred to me that I had gone through more security at the airport than I had at the gun show. [More]Somebody want to hand this guy a mirror, tell him he can use both hands and direct him to where his hindquarters might be...?
Ain't it just typical? He's been attacking gun owners for years and this is the first time he's climbed down from the tower to walk among them? Not that it had any noticeable effect on all those deep-seated prejudices...

"These guns, which rely on fingerprint-access technology or radio waves to allow the gun to be fired, could put a huge dent in the number of suicides and accidental deaths."
ReplyDeleteGuns filled with dead batteries, just like most flashlights, that can't be used in an emergency to save your loved ones life.
Need for "security" at a gun show? Funny. Typical government-centric mindset. Irony is that hundreds of people enjoyed the show, celebrated the right to keep and bear arms, in a building awash with all manner of guns including "assault weapons" and everybody had a good time, and "the government" was not needed. No crime. No "gun violence." But, I do acknowledge and appreciate Charles Blow's willingness to go.
