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.

Mayor pro tem Dwaine Caraway seems to too ignorant to comprehend what a contract is in making this threat against the NRA.

Bring it on snowflake!

And this person does not realize, apparently, that what he’s exactly the reason for being pro-2nd amendment.

He is giving them the perfect reason to hold their position on guns but threatening them with violence.

Oooh. Opposition. My stomach is quaking.

I may just have to make a trip to Dallas that week.

[Huskrrrr]

Pu$$y.

[libertylover]

Don’t give in NRA. It would make it look like it’s your fault.

[WayneS]

Do it. I’m sure some other location, maybe a smaller city that is seeking to expand its tourism and economic development will appreciate the economic boon of an NRA convention.

This coming from a Texan. Simply amazing.

[VanDeKoik]

Sue them for the cost of the venue they reserved if they try anything.

Show up armed, and dare them to start something.

If their city attorney is worth a damn, Caraway will be getting a lesson on that quietly, behind closed doors, soon.

Looks like the NRA already told Dwaine to pound sand.

I think Dwaine would feel more at home in Austin than Dallas.

[Sarah Barracuda]

OH NOES opposition, Im pooping my pants as we speak

[SERKIT]

While the left begs for "common sense gun laws", I have to ask: Where the h#ll is the common sense in the mandatory use of these stupid signs and the prevention of good guys protecting children not being allowed anywhere near a school with CC?

[miss marmelstein]

Looks like I’m going to have to renew my membership.

[onedoug]

So what?

[JonPreston]

Whoever isn’t an NRA member should consider becoming one for all the obvious reasons.

[polymuser]

I must assume conventions or gatherings about movies or video games, which contain gun violence, will be booted as well. Right?

Our side has GOT to push the “ No guns in movies and games!” meme. Hard.

Old Dwaine seems to be on the crooked side.
