I was at a swap meet today and there were so many bikers there. So many. There were all these tattooed guys in leather, walking around in nice jeans and I’m pretty sure it almost killed me. 

That sounds freaking awesome! (I mean, assuming they weren’t creepy guys, of course).

No creepy guys! They were all pretty nice. And it was absolutely awesome. 

Ive never been to a swap meet so this whole conversation fascinates me what were they getting? What’s the purpose here?

It’s kinda like a random hodgepodge of sellers who had everything from jewelry to food to ammunition. My guess is they were there for the gun raffle that was going on (‘cause America) and/or the guy selling custom bike parts.

Ahhh so it’s like a market thing, also gun shit at a market America is so baffling why?

It is! But you can never be sure what you’re gonna find and it usually only happens on weekends.

As far as gun shit… yeah I don’t know. Americans love guns and have a strong distain for gun safety apparently.

The worlds a weird place.

It’s not a disdain for safety, most of the people who buy ammunition at the swap meets and conventions usually are buying from people who produce the ammunition independently as a hobby or as a second source of income. Most buyers are in clubs that exercise gun safety and they go to the swap-meets to promote local businesses. My neighbor does it, and as far as I know he has to pay taxes and fees for selling guns and ammunition which go to funding for wildlife protection and the conservation of public lands. He gets audited for that stuff constantly

I don’t really want to get into a conversation about guns and all that but I was more referring to the fact that it’s possible, in my state and many others, to buy a gun or win a gun in a raffle without any sort of background check or waiting period if it’s from a private seller. That, I feel, is an unsafe practice and an issue of gun safety. 

Ah, you are right, I do agree that is unsafe and irresponsible, because waiting periods and background checks are our only way of regulating who can and cannot get ahold of firearms, I didn’t realize that occurs in some states (tbh it probably happens where I’m from too) my apologies. I mean really, this post is about hot biker men. Srsly, where is this swap meet??

Lol. No worries! It’s more common than not for states to have no background check requirement for private gun sale. It’s sometimes called “the gun show loophole” and a big reason to advocate for universal background checks. But, no harm, no foul.

I’m from New Mexico. Lots of hot guys around, lol.

Gun raffle??? Ammunition? You can just sell guns at a swap meet in America? Ours are like full of old ladies selling soap and preserves and hardanger/crochet/knitted goods.

You totally can. I mean, it’s not like going to a swap meet in American means there aren’t old ladies selling knitted hats and jams or knock-off designer brands or oatmeal soap, it’s just that sometimes you can find guns and ammo, too.
But yeah, you can sell guns at swap meets. I believe the seller have to have proper permits and paperwork in order to do it legally, but the buyers don’t have to have a background check to get it in most states.
