California would ban gun shows at fair grounds under new bill

Senator Dave Min of Irvine has introduced a measure that would prohibit firearm sales on state property. This would prevent fairs affiliated with CDFA from leasing grounds to host gun shows.

According to Min, the bill would “effectively end the ‘gun show loophole’ and eliminate the sale of ghost guns, straw party sales, gun thefts.”

“Our county fairgrounds are supposed to be family-friendly venues, long associated with wholesome events like county fairs, 4-H events, rodeos and music festivals,” he said.
