Oddly enough, per the US Supreme court in Warren v District of Columbia, the courts disagree with your premise. Barring a special relationship with the local police (protective custody, etc) they have no duty to protect the individual. They are there to investigate a crime. If they manage to show up and stop…

Those Soviet Elves out in Stalindell know how to make a fine hunk of machinery...

Gun Broker is a website where you can buy firearms and have them sent to your licensed dealer for a background check and pickup.

Breach of contract with DSA. Having something like that overhead is a good incentive to refund + damages.

Because they talked to the convention, explained what they wanted to do and show, and got a signed contract to be able to do it.

The funny thing is, DSA had a contract with the con to be able to show that and distribute info. There’s a big breach of contract lawsuit a coming.

The funny thing is, per a release by DSA, the Con knew they were going to be there, what they were bringing, and signed an ironclad contract to allow it.
