On Monday Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway (D) cited the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy and demanded that the NRA cancel its upcoming convention. The convention is scheduled to take place in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

Mayor Pro Tem Caraway spoke Monday about the scheduled NRA convention. Fox 4 reported that he framed his demand that the NRA pull out by pointing to JFK’s assassination, then pivoting to the July 7, 2016, fatal ambush of five Dallas police officers, the Florida school shooting, and November 2017 murder of a 27-year-old mother of six in the city, allegedly at the hands of a 15-year-old.

Caraway said:

"Gun violence has played a significant part in Dallas’ historical past from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to the five Dallas Police officers gunned down in July 2016 to the brutal murder of a mother of six children in District 4 this past Christmas. It is time to put the heat on the NRA and demand that they work with elected officials in our country to establish gun laws that protect our children and keep our communities safe. We have got to take on the NRA."

The NRA had an annual in Dallas back in the 90's. That was the last I was able to attend.

JFK was still dead then.

Dallas used to be part of Texas - seems like a lot of Texas ain’t Texas anymore...

[Lazamataz]

Welp.

That tears it.

I’m going Life Member at the NRA, and will sponsor one person here for a year membership.

NRA should just move their convention next door to Ft Worth.

I’m relieved he’s not some sort of turncoat redneck with a name like “Dwaine.” Now the idiocy of it all makes more sense.

Dallas use to be a pretty cool town... then the Liberal idiots gained the majority and it’s truly fallen badly.

It's an urban area.

If Texas is going looney left...... we are all sunk

Every major city center county has been solid blue for a while.

[faithhopecharity]

That’s just horrible. Cause? Cities have McD burgers?

[TheBattman]

This is what I was thinking... Liberals have invited and the old Texas Republic has been caught with it’s collective pants down...
