Two simple steps and no more gun shows

I don't know how far back you go in guns and gun shows, but gun shows were originally for unlicensed dealers and good ol' boys. I recall the years where it was illegal for licensed firearms dealers to conduct business anywhere other than at the address on their license. They were not permitted to set up and sell at gun shows. Then, several years ago, the AFT created the regulation to permit dealers to do business at gun shows in the states where they were licensed. And that's the way it is today. At any time, I repeat, AT ANY TIME, the ATF can, without any governmental permission or approval, reverse their regulation and make it the way it used to be. They gave dealers permission to sell at shows, and they can take away that "privilege." Understand: dealers have a privilege, not a right to sell at shows. Think about it a moment. If legislation were passed where all gun sales at gun shows had to be handled through a licensed dealer for a background check, then all the ATF would have to do to eliminate gun shows would be to take away the ability for licensed dealers to conduct business at gun shows--that is, make it like it used to be. We are but two small steps away from eliminating gun shows all together. And that would be the "neat and clean" way for the government to do it. Of course. licensed dealers wouldn't cry many tears over that, would they?
