The DuPage County Fairgrounds have hosted the Pioneer Valley Sportsman’s Show for more than 40 years. An event slated for Sunday will be the first-ever show where semi-automatic rifles are banned from being sold or raffled off. Bump stocks — accessories that can make semi-automatic rifles fire almost as quickly as fully automatic guns — are also banned.
