(TOWNHALL) The National Rifle Association, America's oldest civil rights organization, announced Thursday evening it has canceled the members' annual meeting in Nashville. The annual gathering, which hosts 80,000 attendees each year, was scheduled for mid-April.
With our 149th Annual Meeting scheduled for next month in Nashville, we realize many NRA members and meeting guests have questions about the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the potential impact on our convention.
