On March 14th, I plan on attending my first gun show at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Georgia. I know how much a new .17 and .22 caliber rifle is since I own multiple rifles in various calibers from .17HMR to .44 Remington Magnum. I have all the licensing and documentation required to own and fire a firearm in my area. What I want to ask his, how much could I expect to find a good quality .17 or .22 caliber rifle for? I plan on using them for backyard plinking, light pest control, say up to rabbit or squirrel, and as a cheaper firing range alternative to more expensive caliber rounds. I am not sure if it is a dealer show, a private owner show or a mixed show. Is it possible to do some bargaining? Or if I think the price is OK should I just buy it? Thanks.

With regard to the National Firearms Act of 1934, then the Gun Control Act of 1968, the Hughes Amendment in 1986, and any other applicable laws, could you purchase, say a Thompson, which was made before laws restricting automatic weapons? I’m asking because at a recent gun-show i attended, Thompsons were on sale and the sellers had information saying that even though they were automatic, because they were made before laws restricting automatic weapons they could be owned without specialized licenses. Please give sources!! (im in an argument)

Group A: People who go to licensed dealers and gun show and purchase their firearms where they are registered with the federal authorities. They obtain permits to carry concealed firearms after hours of safety training and hundreds of rounds of practice fire and after intense scrutiny into their criminal record. They spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars on high end firearms and ammunition that is held to the highest level of quality and safety control. They spend hundreds of hours and countless rounds of ammunition a year at the range. Some are former law enforcement and military personnel. They are some of the safest firearms operators on the planet. They purchase their weapons for hunting, sport, to exercise their God given right, and to assure the safety and well being of themselves, their loved ones, and their property. What they DO NOT do is perform drive-bys, knock off Seven-Elevens, mug people, and commit murder. For that matter they don’t commit hardly any type of crime because they have to maintain their permits to CCW.

Group B: People who commit murder, perform drive-bys, knock off Seven-Elevens, mug people, and generally have little to no regard for the law. What they DO NOT do is purchase their guns from licensed vendors or register them with law enforcement. They do not purchase high end equipment and ammunition from reputable dealers. They do not obtain legal permits to carry concealed weapons. They do not go through training in weapons use and safety. They do not go through any kind of screening process to weed out criminals (because that’s what they are). They purchase their fireams for any one of the aforementioned reasons

You still with me?

Now, using gun grabber logic, you can stop and prevent Group B from committing all the terrible things they do by taking guns away from Group A.

If you disagree, then please enlighten me.

the federal law says u must be 21 years old to buy a handgun from a FFL licensed dealer. HOWEVER, it does not say that you cant buy one in a PRIVATE transacation. so does that mean if im under 21, i can buy a handgun from a PRIVATE citizen who is not a licensed dealer, provided that my state law does not restrict handgun purchases? like at a gun show?
