If you want to buy a gun, then a gun show is a good place to start. Often held at public venues like fairgrounds or civic centres, gun shows operate as temporary, largely unregulated markets for the transfer of firearms. Giffords estimates that firearm purchases from gun shows account for 4 to 9 per cent of annual firearm sales, while 3 per of gun owners report acquiring their most recent firearm from a gun show. But according to pollsters Gallup, support for stricter gun laws fell between 2014 and 2020. The right to bear arms is enshrined in the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution and is protected as sacrosanct by gun enthusiasts.
