It is easy to BAN something.(Soda, Guns, High Capacity Magazines, Ammo)
Enforcement is the Big Problem (remember Probation?) Will we end up with Boot Leg Guns & Ammo??

Will the Fed’s come and break down our doors, shoot our Dogs, Search & Seize our papers, computers, Guns, Ammo, Bibles & books all without a lawful warrant?

Then what? Will they come for you & your Wife and Kids?
Will they make you get on the Train for a ride to the work camp after they have taken ALL of your Money, Car, House and everything you have worked so very hard to get.

When will we wake up and Draw the line in the Sand and say No more, you will not pass this line. They will not break the 2nd Amendment, they will NOT TAKE MY GUNs.

It is unfortunate that in the current emotionally charged atmosphere

Which was created by your buddies in the media. Typical liberal - blaming someone else for their error.

And it happens on the same day as the gun grabbers unveil their plans.

How many years has this show been held?

“It has become very clear to us after speaking with our customers that the event could not be held because the atmosphere of this year’s show would not be conducive to an event that is designed to provide family enjoyment.

What was different this year as opposed to previous years? MSR's didn't seem to bother families then...

There will be a lot of disappointed people and a lot of family businesses hurt.

Yes, I thought of that, too. I understand some of the smaller vendors derive most of their annual revenue from shows like this, so they will take a big hit.

It is unfortunate that in the current emotionally charged atmosphere this celebratory event has become overshadowed by a decision that directly affected a small percentage of more than 1,000 exhibits

What a bunch of disingenuous weasels! You step on one of us, you bunch of jackasses, you step on all of us. And 20+% is not a "small percentage".

GFY, Reed Exhibitions!

Will they refund the vendors, I wonder?

Not only refund vendors and pay the entertainers contracted to appear but forfeit all the money spent to rent the hall, advertising, web expenses, travel and lodging expenses, etc, etc., and any other costs incurred thus far. I would imagine a huge chunk of change has already been spent promoting and arranging for this show.

Wrong. Here's what actually is unfortunate: some people still try to tell American citizens the Second Amendment doesn't mean exactly what it says.

What else would we have expected of English subjects?

Since Pennsylvanians reelected the same dufus’s this time around maybe they can blame each other for the lost $$$ from this fiasco.

All kinds of local/state businesses participate. Food vendors, clothing shops, boat dealers, small transport, the hunters/ fishers use knives, binoculars, hedge clipping equipment, fishing poles/tackle, tents, t-shirts....
This is not just a gun show. It's a sporting goods show. A very big one. A lot of money gets spent there. A lot of money gets brought into the state.

Bastards and their weak-kneed political correctness

Let’s hope the show organizer who came up with this idea in the first place fails completely.

Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show should invite Joe Biden and Janet Napolitano to attend as special guests VIPs.

That will certainly fill the hall with sportsmen, because Joe and Janet just adore outdoor sports and constantly seek to protect and preserve the sportsman's way of life.

Put your money where your mouth is, Chet Burchett.

They still don’t get it and then try to blame the evil gun owners for the “postponement”.

I understand that...I was just pointing out that the effects of Reed's jackass decision go well beyond that of the show itself...if I were the owner of a local motel, restaurant or any other business that stood to benefit from the presence of attendees; I would be beyond p*ssed at the 'gun grabbers'.

The emotionally charged atmosphere is due to the racist Chi-town thug in the WH and his gun grabbing Soros whores in the Sin-ate. AKA Lil Barry’s fault.
