NRA: “Apologies for the inconvenience" Cancels Country Music Event After School Shooting

[kpete]

After this morning’s shooting at a Connecticut elementary school, the National Rifle Association cancelled a planned Twitter promotion with country music rapper Colt Ford. A live “Tweet & Greet” with Mr. Ford was scheduled for 1 p.m. (Central Time) this afternoon on the “NRA Country” account. However, shortly after the event’s planned start time, an announcement was posted on the NRA Country Twitter account that it would be rescheduled.

“Apologies for the inconvenience, but the @ColtFord Tweet & Greet will be rescheduled. Please check back for more info!” the announcement said.

We reached out to a spokeswoman for NRA Country to confirm that the cancellation of the “Tweet & Greet” was related to the shooting, which has already led to calls for tougher gun control legislation from several politicians. As of this writing, we have yet to receive a response

2. They must have learned from the blowback after they held their convention in Denver after Columbine

there are two things the NRA is consistant about:
1. relentless fundraising usual by playing hypothetical victim
2. relenting on their "core values" (serial numbers, balastics, background checks, etc.)
