10. Why bother? Almost half the states regulate gun show sales

in some manner or other. Many have universal background checks. Several added them since Newtown, and several more will be pass them in the coming weeks.

Gun show regulations aren't getting more lax, they're getting stricter. "Gun rightists" are slowly but consistently losing ground in this arena -- Giffords' group raised a million dollars online since the federal bill failed, Bloomberg et al are still winding up.

We're getting all that without sacrificing anything. You're losing. No sale, buddy.
