Blaming your customers for your bad decisions is not good business practice. Listen and learn or fold your tent and go home.

I hope the show organizers are happy and somewhat more educated on the real costs of Wussification.

We got their attention and it freaks out the gun-grabbing left. :)

The use of the term ‘assault weapons’ in the article really irks me. It misleads the ignorant that it is fully automatic weapons (like in the movies) that are being proposed for banning while they have been outlawed since 1934.

This is more about the people speaking up and the results.

Its a message for the GOP as much as its for the marxists.

And then what?

When the GOP sells us down the river, again, then what?

Seriously. Then what?

Against a drone? A tank? An infantry platoon?

By all means, write your congressmen. Donate to the NRA. Maybe that will work.

But the GOP has a history of stabbing its base in the back. And the police and military will follow orders.

Against whatever. There are 50 million gun owners in the US.

You’ve already given up so I guess there are only 49,999,999 gun owners.

Remember that this is an open forum monitored various law enforcement agencies.

I haven’t given up, but I will not be naive about things. Russia was very, very, well armed. Till the Soviets came in and took all the guns. Most complied, and you know the rest.

Most people today do not have what it takes to resist.

If you are on this site you are either on the list to visit or on the list of informers.

Pick a side.

BTW use of the military for law enforcement is against the law.

Infringement of the 2nd amendment is unconstitutional.

Too bad a US company can’t pick up the venue and restart the show with a more inclusive theme.

How about, "The All-American National Sportsmen's Show"

February 1-9, 2014

Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Other Area Venues

Make it bigger and better than it ever was before. The theme: Sportsmen's Show. I am not hung up on being PC or using words like "inclusive", nor not using words like "sportsmen". Folks around here have always called the show, the Sportsmen's Show.

Let the market determine what is at the show.

"He is also a die-hard Obama supporter. He drinks the Obama Kool-aide and spits it out daily. This guy is certifiably nuts. Killed his dog by punching it in the head. Shot another of his own dogs when a neighbor complained that the dog was always in their yard. How he can spurt such illogical, irrational Democrat statements and keep his head in the sand is beyond my comprehension. (He is also a government employee!!!)(No, Not the post office!!!)"

Your neighbor sounds like a candidate to be at the center of the next mass shooting that the left needs to continue until they get their gun prohibitions passed and carried out.

I remember a cousin (from the ‘suburbs’) whining about ...

I remember a few years back when I was working in Coudersport. I was at the local Sheetz when a woman came in visibly upset. She hit a deer on Route 6. The usual questions followed, "are you alright? how bad is the damage to the car? etc." She barely clipped the deer with her car. Didn't kill the deer, only injured it and it was on the side of the road when she last saw it.

Then she was asked, "did you put it out of its misery?" The answer was, "No". So we asked her where the deer was so we could put it down. Just about everyone at Sheetz had some kind of gun in their car or was carrying.

She started crying and didn't want to tell us where the deer was. You could tell by her accent that she was from NYC.

F'n, stupid liberal.

Back in the 90s, when K-Mart teamed up with Rosie O’D and Slick Willie and his failed “assault weapons” nonsense, Americans who had shopped there - stopped shopping there.

I haven't been to a K-Mart since.

I also do not go to Dicks. That is more recent, but I refuse to go there.

I think there are a lot of Fudds out there, but they are slowly waking up. Well, at least some of them. I was really surprised at the number of Archery related vendors that pulled out of the show. Granted, most hunters that bow hunt also hunt with guns. I am little bit disappointed with fishermen. Not a lot of support there.

I recall after the last AWB, PETA turned their sites on fishermen. They were dragging chains through streams in north central PA over the opening day weekend of trout season. That was the first time I carried while fishing. Now it is a normal practice for me. I didn't run into any PETA jerks, but I was prepared. These liberals tend to be very violent.

“It has become very clear to us after speaking with our customers that the event could not be held because the atmosphere of this year’s show would not be conducive to an event that is designed to provide family enjoyment. It is unfortunate that in the current emotionally charged atmosphere this celebratory event has become overshadowed by a decision that directly affected a small percentage of more than 1,000 exhibits showcasing products and services for those interested in hunting and fishing.

******************************

Ah, that pesky and irrelevant 2nd Amendment. A chaleyre!

I am well aware of the risks of posting here. More aware than most.

The Dems WANT a reaction. They want someone shooting up cops, attacking government officials, etc. They want you to keep making threats.

That makes the job of a gun ban that much easier. Just post what some on FR say on the nightly news, and see what happens.
