Chet never really mentions that he REALLY SCREWED UP and ruined the show for everyone involved.
That bring me to another thing I have been thinking about, doesn't the President realize that a healthy thriving gun market in this country is a huge employer of regular folks?
So many of the small businesses in the USA are making accessories, parts, holsters, ammo, selling and servicing firearms etc.
What a dolt...

Maybe they should have realized that people hunt with "modern sporting rifles". That sorry attempt of an excuse on their webpage denied the fact that they messed up with this policy and put blame on others. Admit you messed up and move on.

So instead of owning up and apologizing, they blame everyone else.

Classy move.

I'm both elated and pissed off. Glad that Reed got smacked in the mouth - but it sucks for the vendors, many of which make a large part of their yearly profit from this show.

Oh he cares alright.  I'm sure just the thought of all those people being employed instead of standing in a line for their "guvmunt munies" has caused him to shank a putt or two. ;)

Vendors are losing income - that's for sure but think about the local businesses..   Report out that they realize about $44 million annually from out of town visitors to the show that will not be there this year....

I know it's after the fact now, but did get a response from Ruger today. Just thought I'd pass it along...

"Ruger decided not to attend the upcoming Eastern Sports Show. We are very frustrated by Reed Exhibitions' foolish decision to ban the display of modern sporting rifles. We feel that, as one of America's firearms manufacturers, we must withdraw from the show as a commitment to the 2nd Amendment rights of our customers. Nonetheless, we are very disappointed not to be attending the Eastern Sports Show. We were looking forward to attending the show for the first time this year and meeting and supporting the 200,000+ sportsmen and women that attend this great celebration of the outdoors.
