Gun shows

Now they are coming for our Gun Shows -- from FOX News:
Gun owners, critics face off over recent firearms shows in wake of deadly shootings
A recent spate of planned gun shows has ignited controversy following the deadly mass shootings in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., last year. A few shows planned in the northeast have been canceled. But in other parts of the country, local officials are considering permanently banning the popular shows, a move that is angering gun owners.

A 1994 law made it illegal to carry guns on any city property in Asheville, N.C. But Asheville City Councilman Cecil Bothwell says a gun show that�s taking place this weekend at the Western North Carolina Agricultural Center is proof that the law is not being enforced.

�I have no power at the city level to block all gun shows in the city of Asheville. The only place we regulate is where people can possess weapons,� said Bothwell.
And the show in question?
�This is the first show we've done in 20 years where people are actually waiting in line at 6:30 in the morning even though we didn't open until 9 o'clock,� said Kent. �It's just your local population telling the city of Asheville, �you can't push us around and tell us what to do with our guns.�"
