Maybe it's because it's California and our Gunmageddon laws scared people off, but there were very few booths actually selling guns at the gun show. There were a few, with nothing very inspiring. For example, a rusty old .22 revolver.

first time I went to a gun show in Jacksonville is when I learned where all of those "5000 knives for $50" late night infomercial go.

All that said, I don't necessarily feel ripped off. I'm not a poorfag, so the money isn't a big deal. It was worth an afternoon out and being able to be OP on an amusing thread on /k/. So, no harm no foul, I guess. Still, I doubt that I'll go to the next one.

The thing about "gun shows" is that they were amazingly good in the 1980's and 1990's. There wasn't the assortment of crap like today's shows, and the shows were a place where you took stuff that didn't sell in the shops, kind of like a flea market.

You could get all kinds of stuff in the early 80's. Suppressor kits, full auto parts, and people genuinely were like "who cares what the government says". Parts kits galore. Surplus ammo everywhere for cheap.

Walk around, talk to people, you'd meet militia members openly recruiting, goofy white supremacists, people like Timothy McVey who used to cruise gun shows passing out anti government things, and even people who were like

>"Ya know, I got this full auto Mp40 in my car for $500, it ain't registered but I'll cutcha a deal"

Even in the mid-late 90's they were pretty damn good. But they became a meme. Their "infamy" coupled with idiot people going to them really killed the Golden Years. Once they became popular in the 90's, prices started to go up, stupid shit started to show up (Beanie Babies, etc..) and the internet.

I remember hearing old people deny straight up and down that their $400 markup wasn't honest and that you shouldn't trust places on the internet, cuz it was the internet. It took a LONG time for them to change.

I went to the Nations Gun Show in NoVA yesterday, I should have taken pictures. Seems like even on the outskirts of DC there's more guns and less cringe for sale than in CA.

>that's supposed to be metal.
Why do people even go to gun shows? Looks like a scammer convention. At least in the ponycon and Anime cons you buy unique shit but here all they have is absolute knock off crap priced at 3x it's value online.

That's still overpriced but I guess I'd pay it if I was out of bullet

I wonder how old that blade is?

Went to nation gun show in Chantilly, VA yesterday.

Wasn't too bad... lots of thirsty vendors trying to make a sell so you could really haggle. I got a sp-01 CZ for 580...not too bad

Eh, that is all shit, but Snowden I agree with, he exposed a US led multi government surveillance network spying on countless people. Good for him. Fuck statists.

I was at costa Mesa last week as well. Still haven't been brave enough for the jerkey

I'm thinking about going but I fucked my back up at work on Friday so I don't know if I can hack all the walking around. Please let me live vicariously through you.

They need to come out with boot flavored ice cream, it'd be an instant bestseller.
