Pete and Valerie Fowler, of Prescott, said Prescott Pete’s Highfalutin Shooting Gallery was deemed inappropriate by the organizers of Fabulous Phoenix 4th. A letter from the City of Phoenix said the game wasn’t a good fit given current events and perceptions surrounding gun violence.
"If it had happened immediately following the shooting in Orlando, I would have been a bit more understanding, but this was just out of the blue," Pete Fowler said. "For us to make this business work, we have to get into big events like (Fabulous Phoenix 4th)."
The festival is in its 31st year and will be held at Steele Indian School Park. The event includes vendors, interactive exhibits and two stages. The event is expected to draw 100,000 people.

Marksmanship is what won our independence.
To liberals, independence is an outdated concept. And probably racist and misogynist too.
Yep.
More political correctness run amuck.
Liberalism is a mental disorder...and that’s a fact.
Liberals have low brain power due to years of drug abuse and brainwashing. They believe everything and understand nothing and share bogus opinions like dirty needles.
Remember it was just a few years ago that UMASS voted to get rid of the Minuteman statue.
Fabulous? Hmmmmm.
“Fabulous” Phoenix 4th?
As in “gay”?
Some very interesting politics could shake out from this, with indignation issuing from, of all people, the light loafers camp.
Faux-liberalism is. It’s a lie, self contradictory, illiberal.
Silly goose. All he had to do is change the targets to look like white men. Especially George Washington or John Adams. Then he could have gotten a Federal Grant!
Syrian Shooting gallery game approved by Moscow festival organizers (quite appropriate)

The traveling shooting galleries were a part of all carnivals back before the 1980s. The last one I saw was in Farmington NM back in 1975.
Several old movies with shooting gallery scenes...BUFFALO BILL with Joel McCrea, RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY with McCrea and RANDOLPH SCOTT.
I miss the old sound of the carnival music, the barkers and their side shows, the clang of the gong, the “Pop, pop, pop of the shooting gallery as people try to shoot the little chain holding the $100.00 bill.
Generations of American kids had a blast with BB machine guns shooting out the paper stars at county fairs and arcades all across America in the Summer.
Typical Leftist pantywaists afraid of their own shadows now that these sensitive "liberals" run all these government fairs.
I know times change over the years, but WTF even go to a government run "celebration" where you have to go through security, then pay a boat load of money to not even be able to have any fun, and be made to feel guilty/privileged if you wanted to.
Those crappy leaky rip-off BB machine gun games in the Midway are the sound of Summer, or at least they were back when America was a free country.
That's bona-fide true red white and blue Americana right there and the government desperately needs fun stuff to be stamped out and expunged from memory.
So-called "liberals" suck ass.
They have a restored one at Founder’s Ranch which they bring out for the public to try at End of Trail.
