The National Rifle Association has canceled its annual meeting due to the COVID-19 numbers in Harris County.
The 2021 Annual Meeting & Exhibits was to be held in Houston at the George R. Brown Convention Center from Sept. 3 through Sept. 5.
"Due to concern over the safety of our NRA family and community, we regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel the 2021 Annual Meeting & Exhibits," the NRA said in a statement. "This cancellation applies to all events and meetings that were scheduled in Houston."
COVID numbers in Harris County have consistently been on the rise lately. Cases and hospitalizations have been at some of the highest levels since the beginning of the pandemic.
"We make this difficult decision after analyzing relevant data regarding COVID-19 in Harris County, Texas. We also consulted with medical professionals, local officials, major sponsors & exhibitors, and many NRA members before arriving at this decision," the NRA said.

OP
Is there anything more delicious than watching GVP activists send consolations to the NRA?
