Firearm sales in the U.S. are on the rise, even as some American cities undergo spasms of gun violence. Are gun-control laws due for a dramatic overhaul—or is it enforcement that needs a boost? ON A SULTRY LATE-SUMMER DAY, I STEP INTO an exhibition hall at the otherwise deserted Orange County Fairgrounds in Middletown, N.Y. As I hand my ticket to the man at the front, he asks a startling question. “Do you have a firearm on you?” If so, it’s no problem, he adds—I simply have to check my ammo at the door. Once inside, though, it looks like I could quickly rearm. Many of the dealer tables at the North East Gun & Knife Show are stacked with boxes or buckets of ammunition. Others are decked out in tidy displays of rifles and shotguns, pistols and vintage handguns, air guns, hunting knives, handcrafted axes, and assault weapons. There are dealers selling target-practice posters, military memorabilia, pepper spray, even hot sauce; one sits on a lawn chair beneath a “CA$H FOR GUNS” sign. The show feels sort of like a flea market, albeit one aimed almost exclusively at men—some of whom have guns slung over their shoulders. I stop at a display of AR15s, which start at $850, and hold one aloft with my left hand. A dealer wearing a T-shirt that reads “Black Guns Matter” comes over and asks, “Will this be for you?” BY CORIN HIRSCH 11 WINTER 2016/2017
