I guess they think gun-haters go to gun shows and don’t want to offend them.
A friend just returned from a very successful gun show for dealers in Columbia SC (IIRC) and the biggest attraction at the show were the AR-15's. He said there were long lines in front the kiosks for manufacturers of AR-15's...particularly at Windham Weaponry (at one time the line to get into the Windham display was over 100 people long).
And if no one shows up?

The American male at large needs to rid itself of the pantywaist mentality of not ‘offending’ the left.
We have the truth on our side - it’s high time we stand up for it. And never, ever back down again.
Doubt there’s much of a market for anti-gun gun shows.
People who are anti-gun don’t go. People who aren’t should go elsewhere. Not much of a niche left.

Here’s why.
Reed Exhibitions is a British owned global conglomerate.
This is a breach of contract against the exhibitors, they should pull out, demand their deposits back, and leave Reed Exhibitions holding the bag for the costs.
Yeah. Sorry guys. You just did.
and will promptly become
America's smallest outdoor sports show
One word: Boycott.
I WAS thinking of going but they just made my decision for me.
This show should be BOYCOTTED. Yeah, I want these panty waistes in a foxhole with me.
It is exactly this type of capitulation that get the ball rolling for the radical left. Why in the world do they want to HELP the gun grabbers??
BOYCOTT and PICKETT LINES
Guns do not dominate the Sportsman's show, although it may seem that way to many if they are not around guns often. The show is divided up into multiple large rooms, typically with a major theme. There are outfitters for fishermen in one room. Outfitters for hunters in an other. Then there is the room with boats, another with ATVs and trucks. And yes, there are some displays of weapons. What is most noticeable to me are the darn turkey calls (I hunt turkey, so don't get me wrong) that cluck non-stop. and them there are the whirlpool tubs and home items that seem out of place.
I am not going to the show this year because of the ban on tactical weapons. I refuse to pay for parking and admission to an event sponsored by liberals. They will not get my money.
I do feel bad for the vendors, some of which have travelled from all corners of the global. I am not booking a trip this year, so I would only be there to kill some time and make it more crowded than it normally is.
If anyone posts on AR-15.com please post this information there. It may already have been posted there.
Vendor’s of assault style weapons should rent a nearby venue and set up signs saying where they are. They’ll gut the show and sell even more produc.
What are dealers going to have to show? I’ve found exactly one AR in my neck of the woods and the price tag with no goodies is $2,000. My local gun store looks a post-Katrina New Orleans Best Buy..
It may be a bad move, but from a business point of view, the next several years worth of production is probably spoken for. Why pay all that money to be in a show and advertise what is already sold?
The purpose of all this hype on guns is to keep the right and conservatives focused on what the Demo-Coms describe as issues through their propaganda arm known as the MSM (mainline socialist media) not on the problems created by the “Libs” on their road of good intentions or the socialist/fascists/communists successors to comtrol over todays Democrat party; Which is the cost ,waste, and corruption of his administration which had led to a 16 trillion dollar deficit.
Not one word will address or offer a solution about the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings using illegaly obtained mostly handguns and revolvers .Using code words like “assault rifles” which are really single shot per trigger pull semi automatic rifles, used for small game hunting or target practice. That are legal in every state but made to look like their military counterpart..Called AR’s since Viet Nam and a DOD decision ARs are really medium caliber (22.3) machine guns designed to wound not necessarilly kill which is why they are automatic and fire as many rounds that are in its magazine once the trigger is kept in the pulled position. .They replace quick kill 30 caliber semi automatic (single shot) M-1, Springfield rifles and carbines used during WWII and Korea and approved in most states for use in big game hunting.

Obama certainly can’t critique a system created by his ilk .Ignored in his 23 edicts is that when once caught, perps get set free with lenient sentencing from “liberal” judges or sob sister plea bargain prosecution (which Obama supports for when a Illinois state senator while introducing legislation to sentence any 15 year old as an adult, Obama voted “absent” with others on roll call ) promoted by the MSM,The New York Times CNN, NBC and,ABC. There’s certainly no criticism of “no snitch” mentality partcularly in areas where these shootings are rampant.
