I went to the Nation's Gun Show this last weekend, and I have to say that it was better than the last time I went. Although there was still a plethora of vendors selling useless junk, the selection and prices of guns were much better this time. In addition to buying a bunch of ammo and some mags, I also broke my "no new guns" commitment, and broke down and picked up a few goodies. I'll have full reviews once I hit the range.
I also observed that non-PC books are possibly making a comeback. After 9/11, it seemed that a lot of anti-government, tax avoidance, revenge, survival, lock picking, and how to make your own bomb/full auto/silencer books (such as the ones from Loompanics and Delta Press) started to disappear from the gun show scene. I presume this was due to the wave of patriotism that swept over the country after 9/11, as well as the lessening influence of the black helicopter conspiracy theorists and the feeling of less overall oppression with the end of the Clinton administration. I did, however, see a bunch of these books being sold at the show, albeit not at pre-9/11 volumes. At least two vendors were selling The Turner Diaries. Quite an interesting phenomena.
