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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
