        Fucked themselves over and can't even tell the truth about it.
        How do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?

            Someone was projecting a $43mil loss for the region.

            Here's from the show website:

            "Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show - Update - January 24, 2013
            Reed Exhibitions has decided to postpone, for now, the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show given the controversy surrounding its decision to limit the sale or display of modern sporting rifles (also called ARs) at the event. The show was scheduled to take place February 2-10 in Harrisburg, PA.
            “Our original decision not to include certain products in the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show this year was made in order to preserve the event’s historical focus on the hunting and fishing traditions enjoyed by American families,” said Chet Burchett, Reed Exhibitions President for the Americas. “In the current climate, we felt that the presence of MSRs would distract from the theme of hunting and fishing, disrupting the broader experience of our guests. This was intended simply as a product decision, of the type event organizers need to make every day.
            “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.
            “ESS has long been proud to participate in the preservation and promotion of hunting and fishing traditions, and we hope that as the national debate clarifies, we will have an opportunity to consider rescheduling the event when the time is right to focus on the themes it celebrates.”

                  Fuck those assholes, let the god damn gun war begin!

                  I wrote Cock's (formerly known as Dick's Sporting Goods) a scathing online message today and told them I would never walk into their stores again, much less buy anything from them. Let's sink those mother fuckers next.

                      I enjoy that last part "We can't figure out why banning rifles at a sporting show resulted in people refusing to sponsor."

                        Someone posted a sign from a Buffalo Wild Wings saying no guns allowed in some comical bullshit sign. Not a 30.06 sign (or whatever the fuck it is called).

                        Fuck Buffalo Wild Wings, they can eat my dookie. Start the boycott!
