In reply to the discussion: Tennessee PASTOR: Mass Shootings Because Schools Teach EVOLUTION And ‘How To Be A Homo’ [View all]exboyfil
(17,865 posts)"No ones even thought about the fact that these shootings only happened at places where guns are banned. Have you noticed that? They have never had a mass shooting at a gun show, where you can find over a thousand loaded guns at one time.
It is posted for "insurance" in some cases and because of local statute in other cases. I talked to my friend, the radical NRA member, about it. He said that it would not be "safe", but that you are safe because the gun show provides security and, in some cases, the dealers are also armed. The guns for display are definitely not loaded (or should not be loaded since mistakes have happened). Many gun enthusiasts are nervous because some attendees think nothing about pointing such guns at them as they examine the merchandise and get a feel for it (can't say I blame them). In many (most?) cases the guns are secured as well.
