Due to Reed Exhibitions' refusal to reconsider their decision to ban Modern Sporting Rifles from the February 2-10 Eastern Sports Show in Harrisburg, PA, the National Rifle Association has decided to withdraw from the show. We had called on Reed Exhibitions to reconsider their decision; unfortunately they have steadfastly refused to do so. As a result, the NRA will not be participating in the upcoming show in Harrisburg or in any other shows hosted by Reed Exhibitions that maintain this policy. We are disappointed that Reed Exhibitions has ignored the concerns expressed by attendees, the outdoor industry and the NRA in not reconsidering their position to ban the display of Modern Sporting Rifles.

Reed Exhibitions is based in the UK and is trying to squash 2nd Amendment rights in the US.

Good. I need some magazines, and would have probably gone. But obviously no reason to go since they banned them.

Wouldn’t it be gratifying to see a number of people refuse to attend? A number large enough to make a difference?

Looks like Reed wants to get out of the show business.

If they still have the space, they should put up a huge banner with their logo and text of the 2nd Ammendment. Same with Ruger, S&W and any others that pulled out.

Piers Morgan was just hired today as a special guest speaker at the show. Also appearing with Piers is Ellen Degenerate, who will give three seminars on the topic: Lesbians and Vegetarian Cooking: How to Survive in the Bush.
