Where is the mayor's request mocked in that? He explains why the mayor's request isn't granted, but I see no mockery.
And he's right, for the NRA to cancel their event because of Columbine would have been to implicitly endorse the idea that the NRA was somehow entwined with Columbine.
I've said in other threads that I don't really support the idea of a right to bear arms (I agree one exists in our constitution but would have no issue with its approval). But I see no reason why the NRA convention should have been canceled because of Columbine. Any more than it should have been because of any of the other gun-related crimes that occurred in Denver in the weeks leading up to that convention.
