NRA bans guns at Trump's Texas speech

This Friday, May 27, former President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at the National Rifle Association's "leadership forum" — which will be part of its three-day convention in Houston, Texas. Guns will be allowed during other parts of the convention, but not during the leadership forum — an "irony" that journalist Lauren Tousignant slams as "almost too disgusting and predictable to even bother pointing out" in an article published by the feminist website Jezebel on Tuesday night, May 24.

Tousignant's article was written the day on which yet another horrific mass shooting occurred in the United States. Earlier on May 24, at least 19 children, along with two adults (including 4th Grade teacher Eva Mireles), were fatally shot at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The gunman was identified by police as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, who was also killed.
