"Clearly we support the Second Amendment"

Right, when you are succumbing to PC and refusing to include the rifles that the Second Amendment was about....
The price of freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, anytime, and with utter recklessness.

Idiots don't see the damage they do by validating the claims and fears of the anti's....

This is no worse than gun shows disarming people coming into them, yet many here still frequent them.

Actually it is. Dealers should be setting the tone for the public and that tone should be "So called Assault Weapons are not the issue".

I understand your need to disagree with any post I make but this is funny. Actually there is very little difference, both are being politically correct and both think that gun owners are gun nuts. The support the 2nd amendment as long as it makes them money.

Gotta say, both gun shows that ban lawful carry, and gun shows that want to avoid 'controversy' over cosmetic issues are EQUALLY Fudapaloozas, and deserve our utmost disdain, as also should anyone who is willing to sacrifice their rights for a buck....

Anyone who patronizes a Fudapalooza is either a Fudd or a Looza.
Its not GUN rights, its HUMAN rights.

Actually your authoring the post has nothing to do with it. I would have disagreed no matter who wrote it. I just feel that the promoters and vendors at gun shows should live up to the standards of making any legal weapon available to people. By them intentionally not including the evil "assault weapons" they are vilifying bot the weapons and those that own them and are helping to spread the idea that these weapons should not be owned by citizens.

On another note with regards to your posts, I only disagree with posts that I disagree with. However as far as my personal feelings about you, I believe I have already made that abundantly clear in a PM.
