Yup. I heard it on CNN. It seems the annual Nra Convention has been pared from three days to one. The Exhibit hall will not be open atb all (God only knows what they'll tell the exhibitors!) All attendees are being encouraged to join Pres. Heston for a morning prayer breakfast.
This really burns my cookies. At a time when I see at least *some* balance in the media's coverage of a true American tragedy, the NRA accepts tacit responsibility for the event by announcing that their message is inappropriate? I thought their message was about education, respect for firearms and firearms safety?
Am I way off base here? Could they not have found a more productive use of the PR by asking Littleton residents to come down for workshops regarding safekeeping of firearms? The responsibilities of firearms ownership? Something?
Might they not have distanced themselves from the violence, rather than sending a message that these Hitler-youth terrorists have something to do with firearms ownership?
OY!
