Even in Liberal Austin Texas we don’t fool around with such nonsense.

Is Piers Morgan their spokesmodel?
Boycott it. Find a new sponsor; begin a new show/traditional marketing.
Brits running Pennsylvania's largest gun show? Does that make sense?
I envision empty parking lots.
As badly as the city of Harrisburg needs money, this will do them a world of hurt. People come from all over the place for this show. Not this year if this madness stands.
Don’t just threaten to boycott it, do it.
People have to push back at the local and grassroots regardless of any negativity the lousy media would report.
Great Gun Show at the AZ State Fair Grounds in Phoenix this weekend, 19-20 January. 5 buildings and an outside tent.
See’ya there!
In other news, Pennsylvania’s “largest” gun show is no longer the largest as vendors and attendees stay away in droves.
Reed Exhibitions runs a lot of the big trade/merchandise shows. They’ve run the PGA Show (next week in Orlando) for years now. I’ve dealt with them for years and never knew they were British based.
Focus the boycott around the Second Amendment issues, not around a specific weapon.
Educate the people and the sheeple with facts and logic, not rants and anger.
Show the people that legal gun-owners are polite, knowledgeable and law-abiding folks, just like their neighbors.
Best way to defeat the Left is to anticipate their hate-filled rants and rallies with “love and lollypops” and some good literature on the Second Amendment.
They can’t stand niceness, and they hate logical, rational and legally-aware people.
Good! Let’s piss them off big-time!
I wouldn’t even consider attending such an exercise in anti-Americanism.
“Reed Exhibitions, a British-based company that runs the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show”
Says it all.
Why are a bunch of red-coat idiots running an American gun show?????
Anyone care to define an “assault weapon”?
*crickets*
Two of my FFL friends/retailers have pulled-out, solely on 2nd Amendment Principle. (Just talked to both of them yesterday afternoon about some pre-Christmas ordered Crimson Trace green laser grips for my 2 1911 Kimbers.)
They only have a few newly-arrived ARs/AKs/SCAR/SKS left/reserved for the show, but will now sell them all retail at their daily-mobbed stores, and save the money/time/labor and stay home to tend to their stores and customers.
I suspect others will follow.
Well, not that one anyway. That Mauser is a select fire C96 first manufactured in 1932.
Most Mauser C96s had fixed magazines and were charged with stripper clips.
