Strange, you wouldn’t think a ban on select fire, full auto capable machine guns would cause a whole show to shut down.

There’s still plenty of modern sporting self-loading magazine fed rifles to sell.

Makes one wonder, doesn’t it?

MrB, you must not have heard the story behind this. It seems that once the participating vendors got wind of the new restrictions the promoter was putting on the show, they all boycotted.

So the promoter was left trying to promote a show with no vendors participating. Faced with the prospect of a handful of show attendees walking up and down rows of empty tables, they called it off.
