We the people have spoken.
Hopefully, sappy Democrat senators, such as Manchin, are taking note. Gun owners will not allow their Second Amendment rights to be infringed upon...period.
Any attempt will be doomed.
LOL oops.
A little Sarah Palin lingo there.
BEAUTIFUL!
Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show - Update - January 24, 2013
Reed Exhibitions has decided to postpone, for now, the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show given the controversy surrounding its decision to limit the sale or display of modern sporting rifles (also called ARs) at the event. The show was scheduled to take place February 2-10 in Harrisburg, PA.
“Our original decision not to include certain products in the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show this year was made in order to preserve the event’s historical focus on the hunting and fishing traditions enjoyed by American families,” said Chet Burchett, Reed Exhibitions President for the Americas. “In the current climate, we felt that the presence of MSRs would distract from the theme of hunting and fishing, disrupting the broader experience of our guests. This was intended simply as a product decision, of the type event organizers need to make every day.
“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. 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 showcasing products and services for those interested in hunting and fishing.
“ESS has long been proud to participate in the preservation and promotion of hunting and fishing traditions, and we hope that as the national debate clarifies, we will have an opportunity to consider rescheduling the event when the time is right to focus on the themes it celebrates.”
Yes, I expect the GOP to role over and sign up for a gun ban. Probably confiscation.
Next time, they might consider a theme of perfectly clear Consitutional rights and freedoms.
I had a funny feeling this was gonna happen. :)
NOW let’s get the message to congress.
NOW let’s get the message to congress.
Not to mention the hall will be empty.
Well done, all hands!
Too bad it had to come to this. There will be a lot of disappointed people and a lot of family businesses hurt. I’m sure the left is giddy.
No mention of close to 400 vendors and speakers and sponsors that bailed on them because of their actions.
It reads as if they think we are being emotional. I think they need more pounding.
“....the preservation and promotion of hunting and fishing traditions.....”
Hey Eastern: It aint just the hunting & fishing aspect of it...
A lot of credit for the “postponement” goes to MyNortheastOutdoors.com who helped with an online boycott. As of this morning, 307 vendors had pulled out.
