Dallas official asks NRA to move May convention elsewhere
Source: Washington Post
A top elected official in Dallas says the madness of school shootings must stop and is asking the NRA to hold its annual convention elsewhere.
Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway told reporters Monday that the nations largest gun lobby will face marches and demonstrations if it holds its convention in Dallas the first week in May.
He says the NRA has a responsibility to help establish gun laws that prevent mass shootings.

Unfortunately, contracts and commitments have been made:
A spokeswoman for Democratic Mayor Mike Rawlings says Caraway is entitled to his opinion, but a contract was signed in 2012 allowing the NRA to use the citys convention center.
An NRA spokesman says the group wont consider moving elsewhere and that it already is in Dallas in the form of numerous members in the region.
Kudos to Mr. Caraway for at least spitting in the eye of the NRA
