Conventional rifles and shotguns for traditional hunting and sporting purposes (pages 4-20, 4-21) are always available, but that is never where the crowds gather. The buzz surrounds assault weapons and their accessories.Really? Never? His word. Never.
-Gary Wintemute. 2009 Gun Show 'study'
All the interest and sales at this (admittedly small) show centered around "Conventional rifles and shotguns for traditional hunting and sporting purpose". Only a few people even looked at the "Assault Weapons" (mostly AR's and CETME's) that were available. None to my knowledge were purchased.I guess the good Dr. was using the Humpty Dumpty definition of 'never'.

good show this weekend glad i was able to make it
Damn you call that the "assault weapons" counter, almost half of them have wooden stocks, one of them is even a shotgun......
I said it was a small show.
One of my (many) objections to Wintemute's "study" is his distinction between "conventional" firearms and so-called "assault weapons."
What makes an AR-15 any less "conventional" than a Remington 1100 semi-auto shotgun?
