I guess they think gun-haters go to gun shows and don’t want to offend them.
Already talk of a boycott of the show. I hope the organizers lose big.
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.
Save your money and time. Skip this show and go to another one that is
gun owner friendly.
Kind of what I was thinking. Boycott would be a message sender I would think. I know of a couple of stores that took down their AR platforms after the hue and cry started. I don’t shop there anymore. Pinchin’ the pocketbook sends a message for sure.
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.
You can bet that part of their motive was to hold back their stock until prices peaked. They're either doing consignment sales at gun shows or selling back to their wholesaler at a nice profit.
“I guess they think gun-haters go to gun shows and don’t want to offend them.”
You nailed it, FRiend. This move is not going to appease the left one single bit. It might embolden them though, now that the gun show folks have shown they can intimidated.
Bingo!
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??
