Gun show attendance down

Well, now that the worlds greatest gun salesman has left office, I'ma guess'n that the low attendance at today's Crossroads gun show was a direct result. After all, the demand was driven by most folks think'n that guns, ammo and our 2nd Amendment rights were under direct assault. The attendance may have been down and the number of vendors down about 1/3 but prices weren't. Ammo prices were back to high-normal but the rest of the prices were just not in line with demand. Hey you gun dealers, get with the program. I can go down to my friendly FFL and pay the same price any day of the week. Come on, many of the guns I saw were near MSR.
Maybe you vendors need to read the tea leaves and accept lower margins. Y'all ain't gonna get rich overnight.
Be safe, not stupid.

Sounds like a setup

Deaf patrons complain after Rhode Island movie theater refuses to turn on captions

Okay. So a group of activists show up unannounced and want subtitles. Then they leave and complain to state senators that they should vote in favor of "pending legislation" requiring accommodation for blind and deaf patrons.
 Dang gonnit, what's is a theatre supposed to do? Show it in Braille and subtitle everything?

Okay, how about pre- scheduled group showings with subtitles? Or sell them sub titled DVDs?
What's next?  Vision impaired flight training? Blind golf night? Deaf symphonies?

Lawyers, they spoil everything to make a buck.

Don't be stupid and let them micro chip you like in Sweden.

We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners who may combine it with other information you’ve provided to them or they’ve collected from your use of their services."

Well, they may use the cookies, but I don't. How's THAT for transparency bucko!
