           NRA Withdraws from Eastern Sports & Outdoors Show


submitted by: National Rifle Association

        
 
Due to Reed Exhibitions’ refusal to reconsider their decision to ban Modern Sporting Rifles from the February 2-10 Eastern Sports Show in Harrisburg, PA, the National Rifle Association has decided to withdraw from the show. We had called on Reed Exhibitions to reconsider their decision; unfortunately they have steadfastly refused to do so.

 As a result, the NRA will not be participating in the upcoming show in Harrisburg or in any other shows hosted by Reed Exhibitions that maintain this policy. We are disappointed that Reed Exhibitions has ignored the concerns expressed by attendees, the outdoor industry and the NRA in not reconsidering their position to ban the display of Modern Sporting Rifles.

I see Reed has now postponed the show indefenitly. Good for those who chose to boycot the show.

  I do not use them silly animated things but awesome. Please take the time to tell The Honorable Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar your position on Gun Matters. They may sway their vote if enough interest from the Citizens comes their way. Please do not use threatening language but appeal to them and let them know you will be watching and broadcasting the way they vote at election time.
