I have no doubt Quigley actually believed the stories that he could buy a semi-auto "Assault Weapon" at the show and just drive back to Chicago. He saw lots of AR's and AK's etc. but nobody would let him touch them. They were happy to talk to him and answer questions it seems, but nothing for sale.

His objective was for someone to buy a gun bring it back, take some pictures, then turn it in to the police and prove the story. Then write a scathing, self righteous Op Ed demanding an end to the gun show loophole, semi auto guns, et. al..

His only problem was reality bit him in the ass.
