I have a new theory about gunshows.

I attended the local annual gunshow this morning, and was seriously frightened by what I saw. Well well over half, probably closer to 3/4ths of the guns being sold have no purpose beyond killing people:

Military style assault rifles
Short Barrelled, pistol-grip shotguns
Semi-auto, high capacity magazine pistols.
Knives meant for cutting nothing other than people.

Here's my theory: There is a very good chance there will be a Dem president very soon, which means there is a farily good chance of another assault weapons ban. Dealers know this, nutjob-buyers know this, and they are hell-bent on buying whatever they can before they become illegal to buy again.

This batch of unwashed, uneducated hillbillies scare the shit out of me. They're just looking for the chance to kill someone. In most cases, they don't care who. Throw in some severe racisim, sexism, paranoia and fear, and you come to the reason I keep a gun: To protect me from these nutjobs.
