The National Rifle Association opens its annual conference on Friday in Houston — across the state from Uvalde, Texas, which was the site of the country's second-deadliest school shooting earlier this week.
The group has drawn criticism from gun control advocates for moving ahead with its previously-scheduled convention, its first in three years after multiple pandemic cancellations.

Collectively, they exhibit no shame. This is a clinical indication of lack of a collective moral core.

I am sure it would have been difficult to cancel; however many of the scheduled performers and speakers will not be there.

Charlie, does it really matter how difficult it would have been to cancel? It only goes to prove that the nra, the speakers, performers, attendees, vendors, etc. have only one thing on their minds: money. Money is more important to them than the lives of 19 children and two adults. Money is more important to them than anything else. Kids' lives matter? Nope. Adults' lives? Nope. I'm sure they'll say prayers and offer condolences. But will they do anything that matters? Will they do anything to make sure these senseless, preventable tragedies stop for good? HELL NO!!!!
