(6,185 posts)That have already booked thousands of hotel rooms and dinners at local restaurants? I'm sure you wouldn't mind chipping in to pay for the cancellation fees involved.
Let me guess you've never actually organized or run a meeting with 20,000 plus attendees involved?
The NRA had nothing to do with Columbine. The two criminals that did the shootings broke any number of laws to get and use their illegal weapons.
But the NRA bent over backwards to dial down the meeting as much as they could and a lot of people, including sponsors, maids, bellmen, cab drivers, Union electricians etc. lost thousands of $ of income when they cancelled all the exhibits and extraneous meetings and sessions.
They had scheduled this meeting three years in advance in Denver. Pssst. I don't need your "absolution" or snark from your pie hole to tell me what I need to do to be a "decent person".
And your "waving a gun over your head screaming 'from my cold dead hands'" is another NRA meeting, not in Denver. But we're used to people lying about the NRA, so you fit right in.
