Houston – 27 May 2022
1. Protesters at rally outside NRA convention
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Lina Hidalgo, Harris County Judge:
“We have a parade of politicians coming to the NRA convention trying to out freedom one another with this extreme perspective that any kind of common sense policy, any kind of gun safety protection, is taboo. They have gone so far, and that is not where the majority of Texans are and that is not where the majority of Harris County residents are.”
3. Protesters at rally
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Lina Hidalgo, Harris County Judge:
“Their weapons of mass destruction that are on a street, that is a man-made disaster and we can control that. Who gets their hands on those weapons of mass destruction? We can control that. And I’m afraid we’re being gaslit in this community, in the state and this country about the reasons behind the crime wave taking over our nation.”
5. Protesters at rally
6. SOUNDBITE (English) US Rep. Sheila Jackson, (D) Houston:
“So what I’m asking for the NRA to do is to cancel itself. Cancel yourself right now. Walk out of the building that is paid for by taxpayer dollars. Cancel yourself today. Cancel yourself tomorrow. Cancel yourself on Sunday. Walk out.”
7. Protesters at rally
STORYLINE:
With protesters shouting outside, the National Rifle Association has begun its annual convention in Houston, just days after a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school on the other side of the state.
Former President Donald Trump and other leading Republicans are scheduled to address the three-day gun industry marketing and advocacy event.
Some scheduled speakers and performers backed out, including several Texas lawmakers and performers.
Protesters demonstrated outside, including some holding crosses with photos of the Uvalde shooting victims.
The NRA said in an online statement that people attending the gun show would “reflect on” the Uvalde school shooting.
