Yeah I bet you are a local………gun culture? And then to heap insult upon stupidity, you state “notice the quotes…” Who in the hell are you to say the fairgrounds can’t have a show that sells guns? A typical drone……

Stupid Stupid people! Gun violance only goes up when the genneral public is left defenseless. This includes the ban on bearing (carrying a wepon for self defence in public) a Constitutional right I still can’t believe has been taken away from us in California! A recient report on Australia state that gun violence there is now much worse after dissarming the population because as everyone knows….the criminals do not surrender their guns! The real problem is lies with our children being brainwashed by the violent computer games they sometimes start playing before they are even 10 years old! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE SULFUR! Focus on where the real danger lies….taking guns away or restricting access to responsible people only makes the problem much worse. If anything, responsible adults should be taught to defend themselves and others, not burry their heads in the sand like a stupid ostrich!

First of all Walmart does not sell guns in CA, non of the Dick’s in SD or Riv. sell guns. I don’t know about Dick’s in the rest of the state. That being said you CANNOT buy a gun at a CA gunshow and walk out the door with it. In some states you can but not here.
If something catastrophic ever happens in this state or country these anti- gun people will be flocking to their friends whom own guns for protection. Some will no doubt be turned away to fend for themselves and some will be taken in with open arms. That’s just our human nature way. Personally I am more afraid of the older drivers then I am of guns.

So much for tolerance and “diversity”. I guess diversity only includes people who agree with you?

History shows that mankind will use anything they can to kill another if so inclined. So if we continue to support billions of dollars of extreme violent video games (killing training films) to our children and young adults maybe we need to more actively arm ourselves safely ! We’re breeding killing as entertainment -not self defense. Come on parents aka adults-in -charge, you don’t think this is going to come back to haunt you ? !!! Get off your I phone and do your job.
The now published long list of psychotic “medications” the armed killers of the past 10 +years have ingested exasperates this.
I was trained by a generation of pioneers who used their guns to hunt food and protect themselves. Safety was never ever compromised, guns and ammo were always separated unless absolutely necessary to keep at hand Borderline” or those who had a drinking problem that was known was encouraged or not allowed guns in the home by peer pressure. ( no it was not perfect) These men and women also chose to go to war to protect us – in order to be able to have this constitution in place. They didn’t use sling shots and water balloons to take out Hitler.

The second amendment is also to protect citizens from government and other predators as unfortunately the Constitution writers also knew full well of this part of mankind’s history. Japan in WWII knew that if they invaded the US coast there were 500+% more guns in the Midwest than their entire military making that an iffy proposition.
With every right comes a responsibility. !

As for me I’d prefer to be a collector of fine workmanship. I’m fine with my antique pistol. It’s part of my personal heritage of the American Revolution.

And lastly, to the best of my recollection, every Swiss citizen is trained and encouraged to own and practice annually with their rifles ( semis I think).
no one messes with them. They don’t dare attempt to shoot one another often either – even if they were inclined to do so.

The gun show should stay for the reasons already published.
If you’re not comfortable with guns – simply don’t own one.

It is exhausting to hear the argument that people want to take away guns and rights. Not having a gun show doesn’t infringe on any rights AT ALL! There are still gun stores, there is still walmart and dick’s sporting goods. What stopping the gun show says is, we don’t value guns in our neighborhood, we don’t want gun culture here, we don’t want gun advertisements, please sell them somewhere else. Notice the quotes: east county, ramona, lakeside, sell them there.

The truth is beginning to show. The press and the elected officials with the "mass public wants gun bans" is showing cracks right and left. People don't want their rights messed with no matter how many lies the antis try to force threw as truth. "WINNING" comes to mind lol.
