POLITICIANS JOIN NRA SHOWDOWN
By PAUL THARP
--------------------------------------------------------
Politicians are rallying around Toys "R" Us and luxury purveyor
LVMH for taking a stand against the National Rifle Association
in a Times Square showdown over a shooting gallery there.
The two companies are refusing to sign leases in the glitzy new
"Bow Tie" building if the NRA also moves in with its gun-themed
showcase.
After The Post broke the story of their standoff yesterday, Sen.
Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and two Congress members, Rep. Nita Lowey
(D-Westchester) and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-Manhattan), hailed the
firms' "principled stand."
"You are doing the right thing," the politicians said in a joint
letter to the heads of the two giant retailers. "We believe there
is no place in the new Times Square for the NRA."
Sources have told The Post that Toys "R" Us and LVMH are refusing
to sign leases in 1530 Broadway unless they get assurances from
the NRA and its president, actor Charlton Heston, that the NRA
won't build a theme restaurant and shooting gallery there.
Toys "R" Us plans to take 45,000 square feet of space, and LVMH
plans about half that amount for one of its Sephora cosmetics
supermarkets. The NRA has been considering 70,000 square feet for
an NRA Sports Blast eatery-entertainment center.
The politicians' letter added: "If the NRA opens in Times Square,
they will be sending an unmistakably dangerous message to visitors
that guns are a cause for celebration."
