Where are you that gun shows aren't fucking insulting? The last one I went to, Russian steelcase 7.62x39 was a dollar a pop, with signs hung at the tables "ABOUT TO BE BANNED, THANK YOU OBAMA, GET IT NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN," charmingly scribbled on cardboard with a sharpie and barely readable by a smirking Boomer in a MAGA cap, though I will say the little hammer and sickle in the "O" in "OBAMA" was a classy touch.
Powder was $50+ a pound, primers were $100+/brick, .22 LR was 25+ cents/round when Mini-Mags had been available at every Wal-Mart for $7.79/100 for months. More people were selling, barbecue sauce, cheapass Frost Cutlery fantasy knives, cheap Chinese tasers (ZAP ZAP ZAP), yellowed, mildewed pulp western novels by the milk crate full, 8-track tapes of Boomer music, quilts, old clothes, old tools, beef jerky and Beanie Babies, than firearms or anything related--and half the "gun stuff" dealers were selling airsoft web gear, airsoft "replica" optics and BUIS, for more than the real thing.
I told the attendant I wanted my money back. I didn't pay five bucks to park then eight more for a ticket at the door to walk around a fucking rummage sale with a handful of guns and ammo sprinkled here and there. This was after Trump had taken office, by the way. I haven't been to a gun show since. I doubt they've improved. I will never go to another gun show. Fuck those people and their fucking garage sale trash, and fuck the venues for advertising it as a gun show and charging for both parking and admission.
