Opposed to it because its not growth oriented? That's weird. Now you're making stuff up. You sure you're not a liberal?

I never said I'm for or against it. People being against the NRA is usually either because they support stricter gun laws or because they see the NRA as a corrupt organization while there are other less corrupt organizations with the same ideology.

Don't assume a lot of those non-voters were conservatives.

Many of them were progressives too, who are sick of neoliberals like Biden.

I'm about as pro 2nd amendment as they come but the NRA is an embarrassing assclown of an organization.

650/700 workers = a real workforce.

Net new jobs generate local growth - period.

Minimal local growth tho...Those people are moving from out of state. They will need a place to get coffee or groceries or other goods...but they won't directly create new jobs for locals. They will need 650-700 places to live tho, and will have the spending power to drive up Housing Costs.

Looks like a lot of you are still believing, erroneously, that NRA HQs is moving out of Fairfax, VA. That's NOT what's going on. It's just a reincorporation from New York to Texas. That's it -- it's just a paperwork shift.

It'll be years before we know how many people from The NRA move here, could be 0 could be several hundred but the number of jobs that move along with a large relo never reaches 100% of the total, I read somewhere 60-68% are considered good numbers. However, outside the margins the yield on statewide GDP does not care if a job is net-new, formed by company adding a spot or net-new via jobs moving in from out of state.

Yeah, but lets assumed all 700 people from the NRA move here...how does that benefit us at all? It will drive up the pricing housing without providing new jobs, and they are now a non profit so we know they won't pull their weight in Taxes.

It has been recently for certain. But warts/LaPierre and all The NRA has done more for 2A rights than all other similar organizations combined.

More prosperity, more spending and a growing economy etc.

This seems to be more about legally incorporating in Texas rather than physically moving to the state.
