Gun shows are assemblies where people “engage in commerce related to, and necessary for, the lawful and regulated exercise of Second Amendment rights.” Retailers display and sell firearms, ammunition, and related products, while patrons engage in firearms-related speech and assemble to enjoy the fellowship of like-minded people. Gun shows are events for both noncommercial expressive conduct and the commercially expressive conduct necessary to engage in Second Amendment commerce.
While the challenged laws do not explicitly “ban” the noncommercial expression that takes place at gun shows; by outlawing firearm and ammunition sales—the financial underpinning of gun shows— California effectively bans the events on state-owned property altogether. It is immaterial whether gun shows are themselves expressive, or they have expressive components. What is material is that the challenged statutes “impose a disproportionate burden upon those engaged in protected First Amendment activities.”

Without Privacy, the Second Amendment Fails.
“n the early republic, the right to keep and bear arms consisted of the right to own arms without a government registration of arms. No registration of arms was known in law until the late 19th century.
Much of the conflict over the right to keep and bear arms has become a conflict over privacy. The most successful playbook in eliminating the right to own weapons in functioning democracies has been to create the power of governments to know what people have what weapons. The strategy has been this:
Claim governments can control crime by controlling who has access to weapons.
Claim to control access to weapons, governments have to know who has weapons.
Require registration of all legal weapons. Any weapons which are not registered are declared illegal.
Slowly or abruptly, such as ‘during an emergency’ confiscate weapons, using the government registration lists.
Gradually teach future generations that having weapons is bad.
The claims of crime control are false. Criminals still get access to weapons, often much easier than law-abiding citizens can. Crime has not decreased where gun registration has been implemented. It is the ordinary citizen who attempts to follow the law who is disarmed. …
