Handgun Control Inc is anticipated to initiate efforts designed to ban gun shows and permanently stop the private selling of firearms between citizens. The move will significantly affect the private sales of gun dealers and retailers who make a substantial part of their income at gun shows. Dealers and retailers of firearms also fear that the initiative will eliminate a major part of their customer base and will lead to a ban on the private ownership of all firearms.
