Guns won't be for sale. The group is now scouting for a location in Times Square for its NRASports Blast store. NRA Announces Plans for Times Square Eatery Council member Christine Quinn proposed the resolution to pressure the NRA to abandon its Times Square merchandising venture. Times Square has become a family oriented part of New York with the Disney Store, ESPN Sports Zone and a wax museum. Guns, gun-related paraphernalia and the NRA do not fit into that.
Shooting is a family oriented sport and families participate in it.
Saying that more Americans shoot guns than play baseball, fish, ski, mountain bike or hunt, LaPierre said the NRASports Blast store would encompass several thousand square feet and feature branded merchandise, electronic shooting games, and virtual trap and skeet shooting. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has stated that he doesn't believe the NRA store will ever be built and that, if it is, such a complex will have a tough time surviving. The mayor has not said whether he is for or against the NRASports Blast store. Inc. All rights reserved.
