"This could happen to any one of us here. Maybe there's more to the story and the guy was selling to felons or something, but if so, it seems the ATF would put that front and center versus their evidence being a gun show table and a couple of private sales."
Gun shows are just another strategic target in the cultural war against firearms, conservatism, ruralism, and anything to do with the original principles on which the nation was founded.
Like the battle against the NRA, gun shows are just another front.
And the goal is not to reduce crime.
