I was thinking, why not verify residence at the door, then issue armbands to those eligible to buy. But it's much simpler for each seller to ask for ID himself. These sellers broke the law, and are no help to the rest of us.

Why? The anti's have claimed for years that gun shows are hot beds of criminal activity, but they have never provided a shred of evidence. The only criminal sales they've been able to document (and oh how they've tried!) have been the ones their own agents initiated.
The percentage of crime guns traced to gun shows?
Less than 1% [pdf]. Show me that gun shows are a significant problem, and then we can talk about adding impediments to free trade there.
