Gun shows

Few genuine outdoorsmen will go to gun shows, as a matter of taste.

Guns are black now, and gun shows are bleak, as joyless as the inner landscape of many who attend them.

Indoor gunmen are scruffy, squinty, angry, egg-bound. Truly of the resinous heart. They are the main danger to the right of the private citizen to own a firearm. The guns they fancy are assault weapons designed for mass production, cheaply made of stampings to provide high firepower to ignorant and untrained troops.
