Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway on Monday urged the National Rifle Association to move its upcoming annual convention elsewhere in light of last weeks 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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