I believe that Massachusetts may have a statute on having loaded firearms at a show.
That does not force them to string a rope through all of the guns as a safety precaution. I don't believe there is a law forcing them to do that.
Again, why? These are responsible gun owners practicing their second amendment right. At least I thought that was the position of conservatives.In my experience it's more a matter of separating the fireams from the ammunition in general; which is a big thing at all of the shows I've been at here in the Northeast. There is NO ammunition allowed inside the hall at all. Not for sale or carry. All ammunition sales are required to take place outside of the main hall, generally in a tent in the parking lot.
Lol, right. You realize that I can go out and buy a gun right now without a safety class or permit, right? Again, if the person walked in with a gun, that is their personal gun. If they didn't walk in with a gun then the only place they could get a gun is from a responsible gun owner, and don't you think a responsible gun owner would ask about the persons experience before handing over a gun?Unfortunately, since nobody is required to have a permit to attend a show, or even have taken a safety class, this separation of firearms and ammunition makes a lot of sense. Whether it's for sale or carry. The potential for stupid people to do stupid things is high enough that it warrants this sort of measure.
THIS WREAKS OF TYRANNY! WHY DO YOU WANT TO TAKE AWAY THE RIGHTS OF GUN OWNERS BECAUSE OF A STUPID FEW? DO THEY BAN HAMMERS AND KNIVES INSIDE THE GUN SHOW? BECAUSE THEY KILL MORE PEOPLE? WHY DO THEY PICK ON GUNS? WE ARE RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS!!!!
Sound familiar?
This is hilarious, to a degree that I haven't seen in a long time. Follow your own logic here. Tell me if you disagree with any statement that I am about to make.
1. We have the right to keep and bear arms. This shall not be infringed.
2. We can not infringe this right because of a stupid few.
3. With less guns, and less ability to use them, we become less safe, with more guns and more ability to use them (larger clips etc) we become more safe.
4. Even to the point that we should teach and arm school teachers and staff.
5. At a gun show, where there are more guns on site than probably any other place on earth, except for possibly a military storage center or an incredibly large gun store, separation of firearms and ammunition makes a lot of sense, due to the fact that there could be few stupid people around. In the interest of safety, we need to make sure there are no loaded guns being brandied about.
Absolutely, that would be insane. Could you imagine if there was a place where those morons could go and buy all the guns they wanted without so much as a simple back ground check? Like a gun show or something? But that wouldn't really matter, because then they would just be idiots with guns out in the country, not standing right next to you or anything.I do think it's overkill to some degree, but I'd rather err a little on the side of safety than to see some sort of accident occur. Hell, I get muzzle-swept by idiots looking at guns so often at these events, I have to keep myself from verbally abusing half the morons there.
