Default Eastern Sports and outdoor show boycott

I don't know how many of you heard about it, but the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show is held every year in Harrisburg PA, it's one of largest (if not the largest) shows for people that do anything from camping, hiking, fishing and hunting.

Well this year the company that runs the show said they don't want any "assault style weapons" or "high capacity mags" displayed at this years show.
Well there has been a boycott started and there are now over 200 venders & speakers that are not going to attend.
I've had trouble finding a complete list but here's one from a local news site

THERE ARE A LOIT OF VARMINT HUNTERS AS WELL AS DEER HUNTERS SHOOTING ARS AN OTHER PISTOL GRIP FIREARMS . ITS 2013 NOT 1953. THINGS EVOLVE. GOOD LUCK SEEING QUEERS AN TREE HUGGERS SLEEPING BAGS AN GRANOLA AN STAYING IN BUSSINESS.

Same thing as the online company which shall remain nameless. I hope they can sell enough sleeping bags and fuzzy hats to stay afloat because they just nailed their own dicks to the table.

Fudd Gun Show Loses Sponsors and Participants

Some media are beginning to notice the split between the Fudds and the Studs:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Would be better if we were to stand united - however, the Quislings of the firearms world like the show's directors (Reed Exhibitions) are ready and willing to sell out the "Sporting Arms" players a la Jim Zumbo.

What they don't understand is that today the grabbers want to ban "Assault Rifles" (Sporting Rifles) and "High Capacity Magazines" (Standard Capacity Magazines) - Tomorrow they will grab the "Sniper Assassination Rifles" (Hunting Rifles).

That's BIG list. Hopefully some anti-gun corporate tyrants will be losing their jobs over this.
