“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...
It has been held for 57 years. There was never a modern rifle ban. I have gone every year since 1987. In recent years there have been more black rifles at the show. I remember distinctly last year when I was handling a S&W AR at the show. since then I have built two from scratch, since I really do not like commercial models and if I did, the cost was too high.
