At the shows around Houston there are private sellers selling modern semi-autos as much as older stuff. Some are a bit suspicious, at every show with dozens of guns.

Good! Private individuals should be free to sell tools/cars/guns/golf clubs/etc without government involvement, barring breaking of laws. I don't believe I should be required to purchase only from retail businesses if I prefer buying from individuals. Laisse-faire.
