[Tim Bromund]

this whole episode may effectively kill Reed Exhibitions. They also manage the NSSF SHOT Shows and NSSF is considering other options

Tim, they do more than 32 shows internationally and only two to my knowledge are gun/outdoor related, thats why they really don't care - a drop in the bucket for them.

Taken from that USA today an excerpt...

"In the current climate, we felt that the presence of modern sporting rifles would distract from the theme of hunting and fishing, disrupting the broader experience of our guests," the company said in a statement.

Holy...What happened to the nomenclature of the style of rifle...I thought they were only banning "ASSAULT WEAPONS" .. and now they think they want to wait till this debate clarifies so they can come back...stay in England, and promote your gun ban already in place. See how you do there. Don't go away mad...just go away. The show is open for production by a USA enterprise.
