2018 annual convention is scheduled for Dallas, unless this bozo gets his way....
Dallas Mayor Pro-Tem

And I'm quite sure the last sentence in the article is 100% false.

I've been meaning to renew my membership. Caraway's statement today reminded me, so I sent him a "thanks for the reminder" email along with a blanked out portion of my receipt.

He went on a similar rant a couple months ago when a single mother of 6 was killed during a convenience store robbery. Apparently he thinks the NRA is behind this type of behavior. It turned out the two robbers were 15 & 16 years old black kids and one of them was already "known" to the cops. They weren't NRA members, much to the chagrin of DeWayne Carroway.

Didn't Caraway get in trouble on some kind of corruption charge? How does he still hold a position in city politics?

You are mistaken. Corruption issues are a prerequisite for holding office in a major city.

We would be happy to host again in Houston (if Dallas can't get their Sh$t together)!

On a sidenote, one of Dallas' most corrupt politicians of all time, John Wiley Price, banged Caraway's wife, leading to a nice little dustup. Maybe if Caraway was a card carrying member of the NRA, it wouldn't have happened. Or maybe at least JWP would no longer be around to be a problem for Dallas anymore.

Apparently the convention is estimated to pull in 40 million for the city of dallas. This dumbass flat out said "we don't need it"

We just can't have nice things in Dallas anymore. They got rid of the "Adult" products/lifestyle convention a couple of years ago, and now they want to do this?

If the NRA was smart they would tell Dallas that they refuse to hold a convention in a city that refuses to pay their police and firemen.

He was on Fox 4 news this morning for a live interview. He said "I threw a rock at the wast and now there's wasts flying everywhere". I'm assuming he meant wasp but the news anchor didn't ax him to clarify.

Never let a solid financial decision get in the way of signalling to the rest of the country that you are on "the right side of history."

Unfortunately the citizens are being stuck with the bailout of the retirement fund.

Challenging the NRA to a confrontation seems reckless too.

I don't think anyone on that side would try to escalate things, but some knuckledragger with similar views as him might.

NRA should move the convention to Frisco. We'll graciously accept the economic windfall.

It's obviously much too late to move the convention. So this is merely Virtue Signaling to all his leftist supporters about how evil the NRA is. Plus, Dallas still gets the convention dollars.

He sees it as win-win.

I hope no one on here is getting too worked up about something coming out of Dallas city government.

It's just as likely that he is working some angle to get his good buddy hired on as a "consultant" to the NRA for $100,000 as it is that he really has some issue with their politics.

It' doesn't help that Dallas has a beta male white mayor either!

Attorney friend of mine in the DFW area has told me that Dallas is doing its level best to become the Detroit of Texas.

Other than businesses moving to DFW and the strong local economy, he is pretty accurate.

I was referring more to the former Mayor/City Council members that were being investigated and facing indictments by the Feds for bribery, extortion and taking kick backs. This was a while back, but I'm told that the Feds pretty much had to stop at a certain point or the entire city council/City leadership would have been in jail. Sort of like...well...Detroit...and New Orleans, post-Katrina.

Plus the Dallas PD is having a serious recruiting problem. The Chief that was in charge when the 5 Dallas PD officers were shot was wildly unpopular. His only saving grace was that he green lighted killing the shooter. Then he retired very soon after.

The feds stopped because they wont be able to make anything stick. Just like the JWP trial. Everyone knows they are corrupt, but there isn't much that can be done.

Yeah, the Feds jacked up the JWP prosecution, although a large part of the reason is that JWP was apparently smart enough not to leave anything super concrete for them. He mostly did that by working through intermediaries and not leaving any easy smoking guns where a prosecution could easily connect A to B to C to a jury of dumbasses.

Much like the guys in Venezuela work; only on a x1000 scale down there. Speaking of which, that place is a prime example of socialists turned corrupto's. Its human nature and it is why the 2nd amendment was written in the first place.

The longer I live in the DFW area the more I think the local politicians are taking a page out of The Wire. That's some Clay Davis level stuff that was posted in that video.
