I have been looking forward to attending my first meeting and sharing it with my grandson. He & I are riding the DART train in and staying thru the Charlie Daniels event. I'm not willing to be disarmed all that time and distance.

I would enjoy seeing the President, but the potential price is too high.

I’ve heard that the same will be true for Pence’s keynote speech - guns will not be allowed. I believe that is a secret service decision, not the NRA’s.

My heart goes out to the kids and families in Fl. My heart also goes out to the mail person that was shot, in Dallas. Each time a shooting happens the blame falls on the NRA and it's not correct. The NRAs programs promote safety, educational and hunting. Now I can go back to my normal low key life.

Thank you for following through with that. It is hard to find people who are willing to use their personal time to confront politicians over their silliness. If you ever speak to him again, maybe you could refer him to a most excellent book: “Negroes and the Gun: The Black Tradition of Arms”, by Nicholas Johnson. Maybe it might open his eyes. A truly FREE people are free to be armed by whatever means necessary. To the extent that a people is not completely free to arm itself by whatever means necessary, that people is not truly free. Maybe he should be asked to his face what he has against people of color being truly free.
