Lilred's rant of the week...gun shows

[Rocky Raab]

GOB, it's kind of a vicious circle at gun shows. Expenses for vendors go way up, profit margins go way down to try to be competitive, and so sales slump. So there are fewer vendors al the time.

Admission keeps going up, there are fewer tables to look at, less and less gun stuff on tables at higher prices and so there's less buying. So thee are fewer customers all the time.

Both sides stop going because the other side has stopped going.

The tactical crap and changing hunting scene are both true. So-called hunters think they need to shoot the first deer they see, no matter how far away it is - and end up hunting with something that needs wheels and radar aiming so they can shoot from the parking lot at a deer in the next county. How long before we hear, "Well, I hit one, but I didn't have time to go find it and drag it back. Had too much to do."
