http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/l...he-West-Gun-Show-Firearms-185769562.htmlWith supply low and demand high, gun owners flocked to the Ontario Convention Center this weekend to stock up on ammunition at the state�s first gun show since a mass shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school reignited the dormant gun control debate and increased sensitivity across the nation to firearms.
Some 6,000 people had filled the center by Saturday afternoon, and more than double that figure is expected to attend the event, which is open to the public and ends Sunday. The massive turnout is something even the Crossroads of the West Gun Show promoter didn�t expect.
"Nationally manufacturers can't keep up demand for firearms or ammunition," said Bob Templeton, with Crossroads of the West Gun Shows. "There's no ammunition at stores, I'm understanding, anyway."
Hundreds of gun enthusiasts wrapped around the convention center to enter the gun show and inside the packed convention center, 720 tables display firearms, not including assault weapons similar to those used in the Newtown, Conn., massacre.
The ammunition tables became so congested on Saturday that promoters had to reroute the crowd.
