one small victory, that will be misinterpreted by the Media

Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson also released the following statement on the cancellation of the show:

"It is unfortunate that Reed Exhibitions of Norwalk, CT has made the business decision to postpone the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show scheduled for the City of Harrisburg in February.

It is also unfortunate that legal gun owners and the many families who have enjoyed a long tradition of hunting in the beautiful rural environment around the region will be deprived of this major event because of a controversy caused by firearms manufacturers who profit from the sale of weapons designed for the mass killing of human beings.

Many regional arms and outdoor vendors and related services have been hurt by the postponement as well. This kind of conflict within the firearms community is the result of years of polarization between the majority American sportsmen and hunters who exercise their constitutional right to bear arms and at the same time favor reasonable illegal gun controls, and a minority of NRA members who refuse to recognize the very real problem of illegal military style weaponry and the mass havoc such weapons facilitate

Mayor Thompson, what a joke of a mayor she is. The city is just about bankrupt and she say's everything is going well

Can you tell what her political party is? I won't comment about about what I really think.

Chuck, calling her and her administration a joke is being kind.

It's a shame the effect of cancelling will have on the local economy but actions have consequences. We seem to have forgotten that lesson some time ago.

Cheers
Marcus

Go ahead Chuck tell us how you really feel....You're among friends. She is just an example of another liberal, pin-headed politician who could'nt hold a job in the private sector. The longer I live the more I realise that liberalism is a mental disorder. I now know how Patrick Henry, John Adams and the rest of the founding fathers felt towards the English and King George and it ain't good.
