Stupid People at GunShows

I felt compelled to do some unsolicited education yesterday when I looked at a broomhandle Mauser someone had on their table (a dealer, no less!!). It was a shot-out, total-mismatch parts gun which had steel bulging behind the bolt stop, and a missing safety! I was pretty plain-spoken about it, pretty apologetic, I really didn't want to say anything at all (silence usually being the better solution if you are about to run down someone else's gun), but it seemed pretty important.
