It has nothing to do with crimes being committed. Criminals don't buy guns at gun shows. They actually have those gun shows at the Casino's here in Vegas (just like the trade shows).
Guarantee you 100% that the last place on Earth a gang member on the southside of Chicago is going to get a gun, is at a gun show surrounded by law enforcement (all the cops go there to check out guns) and tons of rich white people.
This is from the US Burea Of Justice statistics on where guns were purchased for crimes:
"less than 2% bought their firearm at a flea market or gun show"
Notice they included "flea market" in that statistic. A "flea market" is an open air market that happens on the weekends and people show up with stuff to sell.
It is as different from a gun show as McDonalds is to eating at a fine restaurant.
But even with adding flea markets in with gun shows...it's still only 2%
So **********...why do people going to gun shows suddenly have to spend extra money and time (money that will go to...you guessed it, bureaucrats for "registering") to do something that doesn't hurt anyone?
