Do it and remind your convention members not to use Delta or United to get there nor the car rental companies that caved.

NRA needs to publish the LIST of boycotting corporations, as in YESTERDAY.

We need to keep the list in our wallet and wake up, get serious, and drop these corps on their head ourselves.

Morning Joe sponsors need to be dropped. JOMIKA are pushing the this boycott against the NRA, according to the Daily Caller.

"We need to keep the list in our wallet ..."

I have ten days to find a replacement for Norton 360 after cancelling my annual subscription. I was a satisfied customer for about ten years but they evidently don't need my business.

I also need to replace my NRA credit card. I typically purchase about $20k per year with that card. It's the one I use for about 8 or so automatic payments including my FR support. Surely there will be somebody that wants the business.

They can all go eff themselves alongside those who blame the NRA for school shootings. It’s like blaming the AAA when a loon purposely uses a car as a murderous weapon.

The so-called “top official” is just a black member of the Dallas city council. ...Dallas has not banned the NRA convention.

I would definitely go to Nebraska for an NRA convention.

Sad thing is that I heard that the corporations were botted on social media! There were not the thousands of complaints in actual reality.

Dallas should never get gun related events since it is a killing field

You are replacing your NRA credit card exactly why? You don’t support them any more?

What’s with Texas? I’m always assured that it is the most perfect state in the union.

The planning for next years 2019 NRA convention is already under way.

You can't change the thousands of rented hotel rooms, cars, airline plans {many have been paid in advance, with no refunds available} because some dumbassed, council critter make a brain damaged comment.

Texans, by and large, love the NRA, and I expect to see the NRA membership rolls increase.

I am giving NRA memberships to family members as birthday gifts.

We are not perfect for sure. The city of Dallas is the core of the DFW metroplex and as with the core of the other large metroplex’s in Texas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, it’s rotten, they’re all rotten. However, the surrounding cities are conservative. I live on the northern periphery of DFW and rarely go into the city of Dallas.

What difference does it make if Dallas and Austin are always calling the shots? And if what you say is true (I believe you) can’t the NRA find a hall that isn’t in Dallas or Austin? (Just asking, not arguing.)
