RIP Charlton Heston

[Alex]

The convention was planned long before the Columbine shootings (unless you're talking about something else I don't remember). It wasn't something they decided to do in response. It was the national convention of the National Rifle Association and was probably scheduled a couple years in advance.

And they did significantly scale the convention back. They took down all billboard advertising, and trimmed the convention from three days to one.
