I am wondering what gun shows in Washington state are looking like after i594 prohibited private party sales without a background check.
My experiences have not been good.
Today has been the second show I have gone to after the new law went into effect.
Before the law, the venue would have been packed, with more than half the tables being used guns, and plenty of private parties walking around with guns for sale, lots of tables set up by private parties.
These last two?
Not a single table set up by a private party, NOBODY walking around with guns for sale, very small attendance, no used guns whatsoever, no dealers interested in trades. Much smaller than usual because of the lack of used guns and private sales.
In other words, a cabelas sidewalk sale.
If this is the new thing, I don't see gun shows lasting much longer around here.
Beware the backdoor gun control measures!
