Many back out of performing at NRA convention

[Saltwater60]

I’m not even saying I blame them since it’s very soon after the shooting so it is insensitive, but I think this is the changing of the tides. Some massive gun control packages are coming our way. I think an assault weapons ban and universal background checks at the bare minimum are on the way.

Well, it IS the NRA. I'm surprised they aren't still performing there to support gun control.

The NRA exists solely to fund la Pierre's lavish lifestyle. Kind of like the right-wing version of BLM, but without the riots and burnings.

Am I wrong or do I remember correctly that just before last year's convention there was some high profile shooting ? What a coincidence .

They're making a conscientious decision based upon the most important thing in the universe (in their mind): Money. They're likely figuring that they'll lose more money in the long-term performing at the NRA convention than if they back out. Like it or not, the NRA is rapidly becoming a poison brand for many. Not just on the left either but the right too.

The NRA's corruption has earned them the label they now wear.

I’m not sure anyone here would disagree with you.

That's a first ha.

Fuck the NRA. Worthless political hacks. Have they ever done anything to actually further gun rights? Just a bunch of fudds that only care about their double barrel shotgun on the mantle.

 

[meketrefe]

Oh! The NRA is still in business?

 

[Modean]

If only the NRA was as powerful as the anti-gun people claim.
