Vendors Welcome Big Turnout At Gun Show (NM)

[davepc]

A gun show at the state fairgrounds Saturday brought out a much bigger crowd than vendors are used to seeing.

...

"(I've) come to quite a few gun shows; this is probably four times the line that I'm used to," said Jim Lane. "It's been like this everywhere they're selling guns these days."

Thousands showed up on Saturday to get their hands on firearms, fearing the new administration may change gun laws.

"Obama has quite a few anti-gunners in his cabinet," said Buck Mephisto. "I think there's not a lot of confidence as far as gun rights go right now."

Even though President Barack Obama has not announced plans to ban weapons, people at the fairgrounds bought up handguns, rifles and ammunition.

"I've heard people say Mr. Obama is the best gun salesman in years," said Larry Stepp, with Precision Arms.

1. The MSM actually doesn't have a clue to the whole story

Imagine that!

Reliant Center - Houston, TX

Weekend before the elections.

A well-known vendor from DFW sells handguns, has 10-12 tables from 9am-6pm on Saturday, 10am-5pm on Sunday. Total available hours to operate: 16

BUT.......they shut down at 3hrs early at 2pm on Sunday to catch up on paperwork. Why?


$262,000 worth of sales in only 13 hours.
Yes, a 1/4 million bucks worth of handguns in 13 hours.

2. Given what's going to happen in a few months...

I'd be packing, too, if I were in Texas.

Mexico is ripe, kind of like a dead carcass on the side of the road. As the violence continues to spill over the border it's going to become downright unpleasant to be anywhere near the place.
