Gun show in Florida attracts most attendees ever after deadly mass shooting at Parkland high school
George Fernandez
While  the gun show’s manager  George Fernandez   told the station  he ’s never witnessed such a large crowd  he concerned about the recent push for addition gun-control legislation in the wake of the recent deadly mass shooting at a Parkland  Florida  high school.
What does  Fernandez  have to say about possible legislation?
 Fernandez  told WTSP that about 95 percent of the vendors at the Tampa gun show are licensed dealers legally required to run background checks on buyers — and the remaining 5 percent of vendors are private citizens.
But  Fernandez  added to WTSP that tightening the gun-show loophole wouldn’t have stopped the recent deadly mass shooting at Parkland  as 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz passed a background check before buying an AR-15.
“This was a mental health issue ”  Fernandez  also told the station. “This is someone that should have been identified from the beginning by law enforcement.”
