The event, held by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the gun industry’s lobbying group, will take place in Las Vegas — about 3 miles from the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

With Congress stymied by gridlock, the most notable action on guns has occurred at the state level in places such as Virginia, where Democrats took control of the statehouse in last year’s elections. They are vowing to pass a slate of gun control measures, prompting thousands of pro-Second Amendment activists to plan a rally Monday at the Capitol.

Sagging gun sales have afflicted almost every corner of the industry, most notably iconic gun manufacturers such as Ruger, Remington and Colt. Ruger CEO Christopher J. Killoy has said the company decided to forego steep discounts in its prices, a tactic some other manufacturers have used, to focus instead on scaling back production to weather the storm.

It’s not just gunmakers that have booths at the Las Vegas show. It’s a wide array — from companies that make holsters, scopes, ammunition and safes to apparel and even coffee brewers. It caters to the spectrum of gun owners — from hunters to those in the military and law enforcement. Firearms on display at the event are inoperable and none are actually sold at it.

Is 4 miles good enough?

3 miles is a long way

How about changing the stand your ground law is used to kill people of color

This is so Fking insensitive. Anything to distract & deflect. Wouldn’t be surprised if his minions tried some sort of disruption to focus tv & airwaves time...makes me sick just thinking in the families of those people lost in the Las Vegas shooting 💔🤬🙏

there you idiots go again, trying to blame the guns for the actions of the shooter. If that were true why isn't every event like this, or every gun show ending up with 100's dead? Law abiding gun owners are NOT the issue People with commit crimes with guns are.

To be fair, there’s pretty much no place to hold events that are not in a 3 mile radius of a mass shooting.

Crazy

Because a sick man lost it!

Trump’s team is really going all out with the distractions by killing Americans He is still and always will be IMPEACHED

How about in history. What’s the worst mass shooting?

..4 Place in Vegas.please IMPORT RUS...4 Roulet!!

It’s Shot Show...it’s held annually in Vegas, this isn’t news. It’s not open to the general public, it’s gun manufacturers who showcase NON FIRING models of upcoming product line. USAToday are idiots for posting this.

2 cops were just killed because of easy access to firearms. Meanwhile a white supremacist group has declared open war against minority communities. Is this related?

It was about time

guns need to be banned.
