Interesting 2009 study on gun shows. Some disturbing stuff here about unlicensed sellers and private party sales and how many of these guns end up with criminals. Also the prevalence of Nazi and confederate views. This was a big part of Paddock's world. health.ucdavis.edu/vprp/pdf/Winte…

While there is no federal regulation of gun shows per se, ATF has been known to conduct covert operations to target gun traffickers
3
When this is the reality of the situation with the ATF and the gun shows, no wonder a guy like Paddock could quietly amass enough guns & ammo to arm a militia
4
It's just the wild west at these shows
5
Gun show "culture"
6
I mean, in many ways there was nothing out of the ordinary about Paddock's views and statements

Nazi shit everywhere. That you, Jim Marrs?

You have to imagine that a malcontent like Paddock found solidarity and sympathetic compatriots at these shows. And reinforcement of his views, if not friends and associates who may have encouraged him
