The Virginia AG is a Democrat so I doubt he'd sue to lift a restriction on a 25K attendee gun show.

He's actually fighting the lawsuit that is seeking to lift restrictions to allow the gun show to go forward

Kinda surprised how lax and poorly enforced they are here compared to other states.

Here in NC I see several attendees at the gun shoes walking around with "gun for sale" signs on their backs advertising private sales.

The most disgusting thing was seeing dealers take advantage of the panic buying and selling ammo for $1-$2 a round

Does the group insist on allowing ammunition to be carried by the attendees?

If not, they are not bearing arms; they are bearing clubs.
