Gun enthusiasts gathered in June in Wyandotte, Okla., for the annual “Full Auto Shoot and Trade Show.” Events included “Kill the car both days after the lunch break;” “sniper shoot;” “night shoot with tracers;” “armored personnel carrier rides,” and, “New for 2014: 105 howitzer.” This video is one in a series from News21 that explores the relationships Americans have with firearms.
