In his return to commentary, Rich James pens a column with many inaccuracies.
One of my pet peeves is gun-critic-liberals who revel in their ignorance of guns. James is a good example of this, claiming that automatic weapons are sold at gun shows, which is not true. I don't think that he knows the difference between an automatic and semi-automatic weapon, nor does he know what an "assault weapon" really it.
The only "assault weapon" that I have ever seen was in the hands of a Munster policeman. Civilians do not have access to "assault weapons" (and I dispute whether it is legal for police to have them either).
The only people that sell automatic weapons are Democrat Lake County Sheriff officers, and the Feds shut that racket down.
I also think James trades in a common myth, that sellers at gun shows are unlicensed, and thus people who buy their guns at gun shows are not getting background checks.
If you are selling guns at a gun show, you most likely have a license to sell guns (which is required of anyone who sells guns commercially). If you have that license, you have to do the background checks.
Now, I haven't been to the Lake County show, much less bought anything there. If you have, please educate me.
James also says that Chicago criminals get their guns from the Lake County show, which is preposterous. We all know that criminals get their guns from straw purchasers like Democrat Lake County Prosecutor Bernie Carter's daughter.

1. All bed wetting liberals confuse what is and isn't an Assault Weapon, no surprise there.
2. You can legally have/own an assault weapon. However, you do have to jump through about 10 Billion federal hoops to get one and your home becomes automatically admissible to random ATF searches to both ensure your assault weapon is there and secure. Essentially, you give up your 4th and 5th amendment right to own one.
3. People are notoriously horrible shots with them, so much so that the military does not employ fully automatic weapons (i.e. Assault Weapons) any more. They use a 3 round burst per pull or one round burst per pull. Us "subjects" are limited to one round per pull.
4. Gun shows do have unlicensed people there. They usually are selling nic-nacs. I suppose that they also could sell weapons, but the good majority are FFL dealers, like 95% of them if I were to guess.
The next gun show is this coming weekend, Buzz up for a field trip to see for yourself? Get a hold of me if you want to go. I just purchased a Ruger SR9c over the internet and when delivered to my local FFL did the back ground check and walked home that evening with it. Went to the range Saturday... sweet little weapon.
Que Sparks misleading B.S...
About the automatic weapons, I have had many discussions with a local dealer of NFA items (suppressors, automatic weapons, and other things). In order to own an automatic firearm you must submit an application to the BATFE. This application must first be approved by the chief law enforcement officer. You do not give up any rights, the BATFE cannot make unannounced inspections (or even announced ones) without probable cause and a search warrant.
Bill is right, my Bad.
BATFE does unannounced visits to gunsmiths. I've been doing alot of reading on the subject and some of the stuff has been running together in my head. Thanks for the correction.
Bill and I also forgot the $200 tax you pay for the privilege of all the hoop jumping.
Actually the best way to know all the hoop jumping is to contact your local class 3 firearms dealer.
I feel sorry for Rich James, I truly do. If reading two words as ordinary as gun show triggers a flashback to a mass murder, can you imagine what the poor many is going through just reading the news? He needs help, our compassion, and our prayers that he regains his faculties as soon as possible.
Perhaps he also needs a vacation.
