Washington Post disputes stereotypes at Chantilly Gun Show

This is totally out of character for the Washington Post
but they actually sent a reporter to the gun show instead
of making up their usual pack of lies. Minority women going
go buy clothes?

"She found the impossible-to-wrinkle blouses at a table that also featured Native American necklaces, not far from a jeweler selling $7,500 timepieces, across from a table of high-powered rifles, around the corner from herbal aromatherapy heating pads and .45-caliber handguns and a pop-up DVD store whose categories included “WWII at Sea” and “Napoleonic.”"

Been to the gun shows and saw mix of every race and several genders. Stereotyping and bigotry are the domain of liberals.

Stereotyping and bigotry is the heart of the GOP's platform.

Congratulations for engaging in a false stereotype.

So gun owners have to point out "I'm not a bigot?"

That says a lot right there. LMAO!

The "junk" must sell or they wouldn't be there. It's all about money.
I wish they'd start selling womens shoes so more ladies would attend.

Still beats driving all over NoVa to several gun stores.

Several genders? Did you discover some new ones at the gun show?

I'm sure next year the promoter of the Chantilly Gun show will be selling women's shoes, bra's, baby strollers, etc...

They should just call the show "The Chantilly Junk and Flea Market."

They'll also have a wide range of fashionable camo hunting clothes too.

The article points out the obvious. Gun shows are flea markets. Have always been that way. There's always "crap vendors". Not enough gun dealers and shops to fill up all those tables.

My favorite lie about gun shows in the news is that they don't require background checks. Bullshit- they do. If you buy a gun from a dealer or vendor at the show, you do a background check. What you don't have to do a background check for is buying a used gun from a private seller- you can carry a firearm in the show with a "for sale" tag on it. Usually done by some old man trying to sell his old deer rifle for too much money and buy that without a check.

Depends on where you go. I've gone to one in Ohio several times that prohibits everthing but firearms, accessories, and ammo.

In regards to all the random crap at the gun shows... that's obviously for the women who get dragged along with their husbands. THink about it, jewelery at the gun show? It's a smart strategy.
