    Prieto was a vendor at gun shows in Prescott and would trade firearms from his personal collection, using only cash deals or trades to evade the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the affidavit says, adding that this was corroborated through monitoring with the help of the source.

    Maybe we should actually regulate gun shows…

      Pftt. Yeah sure.

      Then how will the criminals and lunatics get weapons easily that live in blue states with strict gun laws?

      Nobody ever thinks about the lunatics.

      This would limit the spreading of white supremacy more than I think most would expect, the online side is a tougher nut to crack but gun shows are the wild fucking west, I attended some with friends who’s parents went when I was a kid and some wild shit flies

      You mis spelled ban.

      Gun trade should be highly regulated, nobody should be able to just give a gun to someone else, whether it’s in a sale or a gift.

      I love how this is completely legal but they still try to frame it as evasion.
