Reed Outdoor Exhibitions, the company sponsoring the Pennsylvania outdoor exposition in Harrisburg, Feb. 2-10 stands to suffer a huge loss as now over 200 vendors and celebrities have canceled their engagements at the show. Reed Outdoor Exhibitions banned the display and sale of, as well as images, of the “modern sporting rifle.” In protest, companies and individuals are cancelling, leaving Reed Exhibition high and dry, while Reed stating they refuse to give in.
Unless Reed Outdoor Exhibitions is an independently wealthy company that can stand to lose lots of money, one has to wonder who or what is really behind Reed’s stubbornness and willingness to lose the kind of money they face. Perhaps there is a George Soros-type investor who offered to pay Reed to do this. Who could be behind this display of anti-American gun heritage? In addition what future does Reed have by destroying the one aspect of the outdoor show that is the big draw? Ridiculous.
