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.

Actually, I was being sarcastic about the use of the phrase “assault weapons”.

An “assault rifle” is a select-fire rifle capable of firing multiple rounds with one trigger pull,
as opposed to a “modern sporting rifle” that is self-loading, magazine fed, and fires one round per trigger pull.

I don’t think there were actually many actual “assault weapons” for sale.
