The fallout over the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show is continuing after assault-style rifles and high capacity magazines were banned.
The outrage is not slowing down, if anything it's getting worse.
It's called the largest show of its kind in North America. But now The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show is shrinking quickly.
After Reed Exhibitions, the show's organizer, announced that assault-style rifles and high capacity magazines were banned, vendors, sponsors and celebrity speakers started boycotting and pulling out. Now, nine days before the show is to start at the Farm Show Complex, over 230 vendors, about 20 percent, have pulled out.
Tuesday, the Facebook page boycotting the show had 10,000 'likes,' Wednesday it has more than 15,000.
"They are not supporting the Constitution of the United States. Reed Exhibition, which is a British company, which as we know is an anti-gun country, so I can understand why Reed is, and why Cabela's is not supporting it," commented Tim Sorady, who is boycotting the show.
We were told that Wednesday Reed Exhibits was going to put out a statement about the show and the vendors pulling out, but no comment was released.
