I wonder if Reed manages the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) quarterly shows? I doubt it, there are lots of MSRs on display there, from 5.56mm personal weapons all the way up to 8” crew-fired weapons.
Maybe NSSF ought to look to AUSA for a management company for the SHOT and other shows.
Win, win, win.
This means the vendors will get refunds, the attendees who bought tickets will get refunds, and the right to bear arms has not been infringed.
NSSF. Please FIRE REED ENTERPRISES. They are not AMERICANS, they are not patriots (not corporately), they are quisling PC sychopants who are the tools of the worldwide leftists. Take away their most prominent account, please!
It appears to me that Reed has been fired.
Revenge is a dish best served cold...
It is hard to understand a company that makes a bad decision, it costs them money, and they hard headedly decide to continue in that bad policy.
All they had to do was rescind their former ruling.
You have to wonder who was putting pressure onthem, and then we find that Soros had his nose in this as well as Progressive insurance .
Reed’s announcement is on this website:

I believe they are not speaking their minds. The reasons they give for postponing are obvious bull.
I think the ban on Reed must continue until they are back in England, fighting for the gun rights of their own citizens. Then, and only then should they be welcome back in the Land of the Free.
Postponed?
That’s as good as cancelled.
GTFO of my country Asshats..
Interesting. Now NSSF changes its stance? From Jan 19th -
“We urge industry exhibitors and attendees to participate in the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show as planned and encourage attendees to visit the Reed Exhibitions booth at the show to share their concerns and to then enjoy the show.”
NSSF was fully ready to toss the percentage of the 2nd under the bus -
This maybe the Harry Reid-NRA-NSSF-SHOT-Reed connection some of us have been thinking about.
The NRA backs Harry Reid as it keeps SHOT in Vegas.

To let them know you would support them terminating Reed for next year's SHOT SHOW.
SHOT SHOW is the biggest industry firearms event of the year in the US--more than 60,000 attend. So it would be a big hit to Reed if they lost the show.
