Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway on Monday urged the National Rifle Association to move its upcoming annual convention elsewhere in light of last week’s mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Mr. Caraway, who represents District 4 on the Dallas City Council, told reporters Monday that the NRA would be “met with opposition” if it continues with its annual meeting of members event, scheduled for May 3-6 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

“There will be marches and demonstrations should they come to Dallas,” Mr. Caraway said, local ABC affiliate WFAA reported.

This coming from a Texan. Simply amazing.

There are a lot of people living here who you might not recognize as Texans. Especially in the major urban hubs.

What are they going to do? Use things on the NRA that they want banned? Democrats are violent.

He’s a “Fat Holder’s Person,” which explains the ignorance.

That’s the problem - they would be relying on police for protection who, apparently, would be given stand down orders to allow antifa to attack the convention goers, many of whom are elderly. Then scream to the media that all of the convention goers are racists and nazi White supremaciss.

I think they might not be a good idea to sic Antifa on an NRA convention.

More about Hiz Honor Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwaine_Caraway

In 2011, Caraway drew sharp criticism for his attempt to honor convicted felon Michael Vick by presenting him with a ceremonial key to the City of Dallas.

On January 25, 2018, it was reported by local news in Dallas, Texas that Caraway was linked to Slater Swartwood, a businessman facing prison time for bribing public officials. NBCDFW questioned Caraway about his receipt of payments from Smartwood who testified that he directed payments to Caraway in exchange for Caraway’s support of Smartwood’s company, Elf Investments, getting contracts from the city. The alleged payments occurred when Caraway was a member of the Dallas city council. [18]

The idiot “mayor” is a left-wing, low IQ black moonbat.

He has absolutely nothing in common with normal people in The Great Lone Star State.

GOA is app. 20% the size of the NRA and lacks the political clout. There was a time I belonged to both but no longer.

The MIESKEITS in the press allow the COMMUNISTS and DOMESTIC ENEMY that are funding this anti gun propaganda to remain ANONYMOUS in order to INSULATE them from RETALIATION.

Time to tell these UN-AMERICAN SCUMBAGS THAT HAVE CREATED A SOCIETY THAT BREEDS MASS MURDERERS AND STYMIES ANY ATTEMPT TO INCARCERATE the mentally defective, that IN FACT WORKS ACTIVELY TO ENCOURAGE mental DEFECTIVES to ESCAPE scrutiny and institutionalization, to go to HELL.

These mass murders are the DEMOCRATS FAULT, and the FINAL BATTLE has begun

NRA: If you cave on this, you’re going to lose members. You need to March in there and get in that mayor’s face.
