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 |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
