NRA Snubs Columbus over AWB

So Columbus, Ohio decided to pass its own very stringent version of the assault weapons ban. The problem? They were holding the NRA national convention in 2007. Were. The NRA has pulled out and good for them. So far the net result of the Columbus ban is a $15 million dollar reduction in revenue for businesses in the city.

Kim du Toit is suggesting this:

Note to all the Second Amendment organizations: Stop even considering places like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and other GFW cities/states for your conventions. Dance with them that brung ya—not with the ones who are trying to end your business.

Devil's advocate here, I'm not sure that is the best plan. While I wouldn't hold the convention in a city that bans guns like NYC, a neutral city may be influenced to be more pro-gun by an NRA convention. They could use the conventions as political event to spread their influence into new areas.

Now excuse me while I go drool over one of these. Mmmm. AR15...
