I am asking the members of the Forum for help !

[lawandorder]

May get banned but this is very disturbing and needs to be known.

The Mayor of Dallas TEXAS has told the NRA that the city does not want the NRA meeting there !

This is a firearm forum, I assume 99% of us own or have an interest in firearms.

If there is not at least 99% of us who are Members of the National Rifle Association there should be.

Please join immediately !

Like many of us here my time on this old earth is limited but we have to support this organization now because it is an important part of freedom for the future of the United States.

Et tu Texas

Well, it is Dallas.


Dallas official asks NRA to consider another city for annual convention

I wish I could blame the NRA or the police for all of my problems. But I want to actually fix (some of ) my problems.

Mayor pro tem

It's his way of "connecting the dots"

He has spoken and "taken action" So it's all good now.

"The NRA needs to step up to the plate, and they need to show leadership."

How does moving the event someplace change anything?

"How does moving the event someplace change anything?"

Yep, a lot of money coming into Dallas area businesses. I wonder how his constituents will feel about that.

Very true, but with the requisite mass protests likely to occur, the city will be spending a lot for added security and crowd control. The irony being that NRA Members will make a host city safer, while the anti-gun people will be dangerous. As always.

 

[Maddog 521]

The guy is a buffoon.

 

[deadin]

First off, he is not the "Mayor of Dallas". He is the Mayor Pro Tem of the city council which is nowhere near as powerful as an actual elected Mayor. (Besides he doesn't seem to have a consensus within the council.)
I really don't expect this political ploy to gain much traction. (Especially if the NRA brings a breach of contract suit against the city.)

 

[Bro. Dave]

As do many, this gentleman never misses an opportunity to appear before a camera. To say that his opinion is unlikely to generate much support here is an understatement.

As a proud Life Member of the NRA, I am delighted the meeting is close enough for me to attend this year!

 

[jlrhiner]

Several years ago, I presented my Grandson with a Life Membership in the NRA.

If your worried about your legacy continuing, make sure it will.

HINT: dallas is not the only city in the world.....

...I don't know how many here have seen this billboard in Louisville Kentucky...not good...

 

[S&W ucla]

I can't imagine an advertising company taking that ad. Are you SURE that it's real and not photoshop?

Spoke too soon, found numerous reports. Sad

...they're claiming it was vandalism...mighty neatly done vandalism...

A Personal Opinion Here

We, as gun owners and as NRA members are taking the blame for the deeds that the people who are not qualified as gun owners as well as those who do not choose to obey laws. The arguments that are presented will not make anything better but will further burden those who are law abiding. I have observed that those who are opposed to gun ownership do not use common sense nor do they depend on facts when they propose the increase in restrictions on gun ownership.
We, as gun owners and NRA members need to be intelligent in our endeavors to retain our rights so as to continue to oppose those who are bent on we US citizens becoming subservient, when our rights are taken from us as gun owners the remainder of our rights will not be far behind! In my opinion!

 

[lawandorder]

In short the NRA needs everyone one of us when this Nationwide assault is gearing up.

 

[moralem]

350 million guns in private hands.....anti gun folks can say and do what they want, they are never getting that many out of circulation. The event will go on as planned.

 

[DWalt]

I imagine this will do nothing other than to increase membership and convention attendance. I wasn't planning to go, but I may now. If I do, I will be staying in Ft. Worth.

On the Drudge Report tonite it was stated that Soros money was driving most of the protests. Jeff
