First post...may have it in wrong place but just saw this on cancellation of the show.

Let this be a lesson to Washington, D.C.- Don't mess with the NRA, we have the power to make things happen. Anyone else here doubt they'll listen?

You missed the whole thing completely. An outdoor show is cancelled due to the anti-guns' pressure to ban AR-15 type. Boycotts by the gun supporters are given after the organizer bowed down to the anti's pressure. Bottom line, the anti gunners won another one.

Some what at least hunters are now waking up.

The National Wild Turkey Federation, a group supported by turkey hunters, said they were boycotting to raise awareness of the threat against the Second Amendment. "We feel strongly about the importance of the Second Amendment in pursuit of our mission of preserving our hunting heritage," said Skip Motts, president of the NWTF Pennsylvania State Chapter.

Respectfully I disagree.
We lost one gun show and gained cohesion. We showed that it isn't trivial to split off sub groups of gun owners.
Show organizers will rethink doing the same elsewhere.

Yeah, the bow manufacturers bowed out because AR-15s were prohibited

There is a HUGE list of Vendors and Celebrities that showed Solidarity


the show prohibited modern sporting rifles. Manufacturers backed out in Protest and Sympathizers followed.
that simple
