How about a gun show that bans guns?

[n2sooners]

Not all guns of course, but some of the most popular.

The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, also known as the Harrisburg Gun Show, has announced it will limit the type of firearms that it will allow to be exhibited.

“We have made the decision not to include certain products that in the current climate may attract negative attention,” they posted on their website.

The hunting and fishing show, the largest consumer event in the nation, offers 1,200 exhibitors and will run from Feb. 2–10, 2013, just outside of Harrisburg, Pa.

They don't specify what they are banning, but:

While the show will not specifically tell the public what products are banned, the website Lancaster Online is reporting that AR style rifles and high-capacity magazines are the targeted products.

“Representatives from Kinsey’s Outdoors in Mount Joy and The Sportsman Shop in New Holland, which are both affected by the ban, said they were told by Reed officials they could not bring to the show for sale or display any AR-style rifles or ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 30 rounds,” the site reported.

And the NRA doesn't like it either.

The NRA is reconsidering their support of the show, “The NRA’s future participation in the Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show will be determined by Reed Exhibitions actions in response to the concerns raised by the NRA, the outdoor industry, and America’s law-abiding gun owners.”

You can ban what you like. Nobody has to show up.

Yeah a gun show knowingly lacking the top selling items in the country ought to go over like a lead zeppelin.

What idiots. But if people still go then who are the idiots?

It is going to be an absolute flop. Guaranteed. Their days in the gun show promoting business are rapidly drawing to a close.

Makes as much sense as a gunshow not letting patrons cc

Maybe they'll sell solar powered flashlights there too.
