Today was at a local gun show. Sat with a friend for about four hours. In that four hours about 30 people show up. Only saw 3 fire arms sold. Talk to people who where selling firearms, their were telling me that is was the four show their have done and none is moving. What is going on? My views of what is going on. Live in New York State(Northern New York) all sale of firearms had to have background check of the person buying the firearms. Cost of this by a dealer is $25 to $30. Add sale tax on to the cost of the forearm. So one has a added cost of $40 to $50. This will stop people buying. What kind of firearm is selling? Age of the person will tell you that. A person my age(73) is looking for firearms made before 1960s, this is true of Winchester's firearms made before 1964. Because of that the price of firearms my age group want have getting to the point of over price themselves out of the market. Winchester Model 94 ( The deer rifle of Northeast US) Price $400 to $700. Is that nuts, yes. Ok, under 40 year old group. First want none to do with grandfather's firearms. Want a firearms that shoot out 100 rounds a second. Firearms have to be high tech. Cost $1,000 - $1,500 ranger. Yes, people will pay that and more. People can go to Walmark and get a firearm cost less than going to a gun show. Ammo: Cost of ammo for a Winchester Model 94, 20 arounds $30.00 that at Walmark and gun shows. Hunting: Less people are doing it that 10 years back. Add up all I wrote about I see the end of gun shows coming. My view only. What your view on this?
