I think it means they look like they belong in this country but he checked their ID and they were illegals. Or maybe the other way around and they're Americans but look like Al Qaeda operatives. :confused5

You have the right to keep and bear arms. If you can not afford a gun the government will supply one for you.

I think greed will do a better job of closing the supposed loophole than legislation.

There are, admittedly, some dealers selling 'personal' firearms at gun shows.

But as a rule, the prices are inflated to the point where I have to pass most of them by.

Is a BG going to pay $600 for a revolver or $1000 for a 1911 at a show, or is he going to steal one?

Many of the Taurus snubs have broken the $300 barrier, 642's and 442's are about to break $400.

There are Hi-Points and other inexpensive firearms available, but I don't see a line waiting to buy them.
