Protest against NRA move to Richardson

[cbp210]

I see Twitter is hitting with Mom Demand Action members staging a sit down protest with Richardson City Council to prevent NRA from leasing any buildings. I know most of us have beef with Wayne but this type of action by Mom Demand Action preventing a legitimate organization from setting up shop here is disturbing at best. I even ask one of them why protest a group whose purpose is to offer better education and training to kids but get mere silence from them.

North Texans, local organizations oppose NRA moving to Richardson

Two years ago, the NRA filed for bankruptcy and, as part of its petition, sought to be reincorporated in Texas.

This sort of action demands counter-demonstrations. Maybe the group could call itself STFU Stupid B****s.

Moms Demand Action has been active in Tx politics for years, my first observance was them (people from Fl) at Tx Rep town meetings. Basically anti-gun protestors who are pretty stupid IMHO. Look at where they get their $. .

I see them as a bunch of paid Karen's. In one event I attended many of them were bused in and at the end were given gift cards for attending. they almost gave me one thinking I was one of them.

Evening news got the NRA to talk. “We have no intention of moving to Richardson Texas”. So that translates into, we are on our way to Richardson.

Unless they are bringing their museum with them, ZFG

What would be cool is if they went PGA and bought a thousands acres and made a world class shooting center in NTX. Probably no money for that though, unless WLP sells some suits

Funny....I didn't know Richardson had expensive custom tailors.....

I'm a life member at Whittington. They'd never build another facility so close.

Whittington is not close to anything. Hence why PGA is not building golf courses in Raton.

It is a fine facility, but it really does not get much use due distance from major cities and airports.

Don't I know it. I wanted to retire there until I spent time there. The Center is amazing and wonderful but Raton is the armpit of New Mexico. There's nothing to do other than go out to the Center and shoot.

As nice as that is, man cannot live by bread, alone.

They were looking at some of the old Blue Cross buildings. I seriously doubt they'll choose Richardson. My past employer which was a very large corporation looked at Richardson several years ago but we were denied. The telecom businesses raised hell about our business model which was tech related. Of course BCBS has been in those old buildings for 40+ years.

There should be a facility like that in every state, and three in Texas.

Why in the world would the Wayne LaPierre Rifle Association want to move to Texas?

Yeah. I'm jealous that, for example, the state of Colorado owns and operates one of the biggest and best ranges out there. In my home state of Alabama, there's that amazing facility near Talladega. But, overall, there are not enough really good, big ranges close enough to everyone who would use one.

Rest assured, though, that if I win big in the lottery Texas will get one.

old Blue Cross buildings - the old ones down on 75 and beltline? Poor choice for the NRA but really cheap. Guess the Como is still open?

Oh great my current plan is BCBS.

With the way they have chosen to go who really wants them here? I kinda see it as a bad influence for Texas other than being so called pro 2A.
They will never be right again until Wayne boy passes on because he'll never leave.

Same reason everyone else is moving here?

Funny.... a buddy of mine invited me to go along with a group in early November to Whittington. I've never been, he makes it sound like a really good place to spend a little time....

Didn’t the bankruptcy judge prohibit NRA from relocating to Dallas a couple years ago? MDA seems a few years late to the party.

Federal judge deals blow to NRA by dismissing bankruptcy case to reorganize in Texas

The judge found the National Rifle Association was trying to use its move to Texas to avoid a lawsuit by the New York attorney general that accused the gun rights group of financial abuses.
