A day at The Nation’s Gun Show in Dulles
The Times-Mirror could not find any vendor who required a background check for purchasing firearms, even semi-automatic handguns or rifles.
Frank Demith of Ashburn carried a Kriss Vector carbine, one of a series of weapons that was developed from a submachine gun design, as well as a 50-caliber, semi-automatic pistol. Several unlicensed dealers walked the floor with automatic rifles strapped to their backs, “for sale” signs inserted into the barrels.
Did the people at the VCDL table see all the automatic rifles?At a nearby booth beyond tables of automatic rifles, the Virginia Citizens Defense League signed up new members. The state’s dominant gun lobby, described by Herring in 2013 “as being more radical than the NRA,” sought signatures on a petition enabling gun owners to tote firepower everywhere in Virginia, including outdoor festivals, schools, government facilities and college campuses.
At least the VCDL got some decent (IMHO) press.
On a personal note, I watched part of Zero's speech and I don't remember seeing tears "streaming" down his face. I did wonder if he had a onion in his hand.
