Grassroots Movement Stops Anti-Gun Company in PA... without Firing a Single Shot


In an amazing turn of events, just days after Obama's re-inauguration, Americans are realizing that big government power seekers and Second Amendment bashers are out to steal one of our most precious Constitutional rights forever. And the public reaction to this latest escalation of federal intrusion into our basic freedoms is not going so well for the perps in power.

Public reaction against this rampant gun grabbing falls far short of a full-scale Constitutional revival, but it may be a starting point.

Take the abrupt cancellation of the most popular national gun show, the 58th Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show (ESOS) in central Pennsylvania. It collapsed due to a vendor boycott over the banning of popular AR rifles from the show – the walkout was led by the NRA and 171 other major display vendors.

In the gun and sporting world, the cancellation of this long-standing national event is the equivalent of nixing the Super Bowl!

The economic impact of the cancellation of this show on the blighted Harrisburg area (the city itself is bankrupt and pleading for a state bailout) is estimated to be in excess of $44 million.

Have Gun Grabbers Awakened a Sleeping Giant?

Let me give you a bit more background to convey the full impact of this event.

Every February, Harrisburg hosts the 9-day Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show – one of the largest gun and outdoor shows in the country. This year more than 1,400 hunting, fishing, and outdoor sports vendors were scheduled to promote their offerings from February 2-10. That is, until Reed Exhibitions – the British-based promoter of the show – arbitrarily decided on January 15 to ban vendors from offering tactical modern sporting rifles (such as the AR-15 and AK-47) at the show.

These guns have been disparaged as "assault rifles" by Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein, and others who detest your Second Amendment rights.

Reed Exhibitions claimed that this decision would "only" affect about five vendors at the show, and said they didn't think it would be a big deal. But that opinion quickly blew up in their company officials' faces, as a number of vendors and exhibitors saw this as another assault on their rights. Dozens of vendors decided to drop out of the show and reject Reed's anti-gun agenda; a Facebook page was quickly created to support this decision.

This really chaps my ***. The right to bear arms isn't granted in the Constitution. That right was given to us by God. The 2nd amendment is a negative right that applies to the government. They don't have the right to take from the people what was given to them by God.
