They were trying to make it look like american gunshows are some type of arms bazaar.

In the
Guns TV miniseries made in Canada, American gunshows are made out to be "no questions asked" gun bazaars too--if you have plenty of cash and a fleet of straw buyers at your command. There is a fairly detailed segment where a gangster's girlfriend tries to get back into his good graces by organizing a straw-buying operation at an American gun show before smuggling the weaponry back into Canada.
The gunrunners situated in Canada in that miniseries also have a fairly sophisticated operation as well, with equipment capable of converting semi-auto firearms to fully automatic, along with tools to melt down any guns that are being actively traced by the Canadian law enforcement, IIRC. They even had plans to get some heavy firepower off of a corrupt American military base commander to send it off to some tin-pot dictator in Africa. So yeah, the American gun industry doesn't get off lightly in this production.
On the other hand, a motion picture like the original
Red Dawn is one of the biggest pro-civilian-gun-ownership and training movies around, right?
