DRIFTER_016 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 HAHAHA!!!! Serves 'em right!!! The only sound you're going to hear in that building is crickets chirping!!! The vendors have been sending Reeds (the people that put on the show) a pretty powerful message.
jedimaster Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Then I better get my 2cents in quick. Haha. I think its good that corps take a stand publicly. I mean are they standing up for there sales or for peoples rights. It depends on what side of the fence you are on. Either way its good to see companies making a stand.
outllaw Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 vendors make a stand. they will lose sales.oh well let them finger it out. just think. living in canada has its perks.
Rich Nelson Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I have a feeling this topic won't last too long at all. If negativity is a reason to shut down topics, then you are well on your way... Mr Mod
Roy Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 If negativity is a reason to shut down topics, then you are well on your way... Mr Mod Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Please accept my apology. As a sign of good will AKA positivity, I have taken out my negative post. Again, Thank you.
doubleheader Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 It's a shame this is happening, but, we're still going, as it's one of the top fishing show venues on the east coast.
Rich Nelson Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks Roy....no worries. Edited January 21, 2013 by Bladeburner
SirCranksalot Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 It's a hunt show. Why would you need an assault weapon to go hunting?
moxie Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) On a positive note I am absolutely confident that positivity will envelope this post so it remains positively positive as it most certainly should with an affirmation to reflect all things in the most positive light and hope it leads to positive outcomes.

porkpie Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 It's a hunt show. Why would you need an assault weapon to go hunting? You need to learn the concept of together we stand my friend. Believe me, there will be a time when the P3TA groups will be saying, well... Fly fishing is ok, but the bait fishermen are bad. We only want to ban fishing with bait, the fly guys will say whew, what a relief, they just want to ban the stinky bait fishing, who cares..... Next year, P3TA is after the fly fisherman. It's called incremental steps, but the firearms community and hunting community have caught on to the game. We stand together now!
woodenboater Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 ...Believe me, there will be a time when the P3TA groups will be saying, well... Fly fishing is ok, but the bait fishermen are bad... pardon the pun but they have bigger fish to fry than worrying about anglers

Yep, that's how totalitarianism happens folks...first they ban assault weapons, then live bait, then flies. Edited January 21, 2013 by DoubleDigits
porkpie Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I am quite Canadian, thank you. Clearly there are many anti gunners here. I don't debate with antis, it is seldom fruitful. I will leave you to your beliefs!
chessy Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Posted January 21, 2013 here are the latest assault weapons that have been placed on the list in the new New York states new law that just passed MODEL 11-87™ SPORTSMAN® SUPER MAG SHURSHOT® TURKEY and this one MODEL 11-87™ SPORTSMAN® SHURSHOT™ CAMO CANTILEVER S 37. Subdivision 22 of section 265.00 of the penal law, as added by chapter 189 of the laws of 2000, is amended to read as follows: 22. "Assault weapon" means ( A SEMIAUTOMATIC SHOTGUN THAT HAS AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS: (I) A FOLDING OR TELESCOPING STOCK; (II) A THUMBHOLE STOCK; (III) A SECOND HANDGRIP OR A PROTRUDING GRIP THAT CAN BE HELD BY THE NON-TRIGGER HAND; (IV) A FIXED MAGAZINE CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF SEVEN ROUNDS; (V) AN ABILITY TO ACCEPT A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE; OR
woodenboater Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I don't think you'll find many anti-gun people here tbh. It's just that some don't subscribe to what I consider a 1/2 empty point of view.
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Wait a second... Are we talking Assault Weapons or "Assault Weapons". Big difference. They are trying to ban firearms that even look the part. A friend posted a picture on FB that made the point very well. Have a look at this picture and tell me which firearm they want to ban and which one they don't. Just so you know they are both Ruger semi auto 10-22's. The bottom one just has different accessories added to it. They are both just target/squirrel guns. Can you kill someone with it, sure you can but there are much better choices. It's like trying to kill an elephant with a fly swatter. They want to ban anything that looks anything like a military weapon. Will it stop violence and mass murder, of course it won't. It just makes some anti gun people happy is all.
moxie Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Still kinda civil......so far. Guns are guns and guns have purpose. Firearms used to hunt game and control pests are useful when handled by vetted and responsible civilians. Weapons(guns of war) are useful in the field of war and civilian life when used by trained personnel in the defence of civilians and said personnel. There is no war here at this moment and until there is, an automatic weapon is of no use to civilians. Just my thoughs

DoubleDigits Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Why don't you ask the same of the guys who put M5 kits on old 323i's? It's the action that makes the gun, not the cosmetics. Surely you can understand how modifications like folding stocks, threaded barrels for silencers, banana clips, etc. are more than cosmetic...
Rich Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 pardon the pun but they have bigger fish to fry than worrying about anglers What? Are you new? They've been pushing anti fishing propoganda for 20 years now at least. You think they'll never act on that?
OhioFisherman Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 <<<--- A gun owner open to reasonable changes. 5 accidentally shot at gun shows in North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana - U.S. News5 accidentally shot at gun shows in North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana - U.S. News PolitiFact | PBS commentator Mark Shields says more killed by guns since '68 than in all U.S. wars Canadians seem to have a much better handle on the issue than they do here? Maybe we need to put Loons on our money?
SirCranksalot Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I don't think you'll find many anti-gun people here tbh. I'm not 'anti-gun' at all, but I fail to see why the general public needs free access to assault weapons! (Unless I accept the argument that it's a slippery slope between assault weapons and fly-fishing. )
BillM Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Define assault weapons... This is where the line seems to get very blurry.
