neverending tide of gun violence. the annual convention of the nra kicked off today in houston. the keynote speaker is the arguably the most president voice of the republican party, the twice-impeached ex-president. greg abbot pulled out of an in-person appearance to return to uvalde. he ll be holding a press conference there in a few minutes, but back at the nra stage there will also be a speech from senator ted cruz who recently stormed off when he was asked by a reporter why mass shootings only seemed to happen in this country. cruz s decision to appear at the nra convention just days after 19 of his youngest constituents and two other teachers were murdered, chose how the hard line stance on guns has become so deeply embedded in the gop. even as the nra is weaker than ever consumed by scandals and lawsuits. as the washington post quotes, nearly a decade ago the massacre of 20 children and six adults through the politics of gun violence into a state of suspension for a f
the senate democratic caucus, we have asked for changes. i m asking you now. i apologize for interrupting your press conference about the needs of this community. i ve been here three days. this judge worked his ass off, the mayor. i don t know how to express the loss of a family. i know you feel it. you have to do something, man. colleagues are calling you telling you an 18-year-old kid shouldn t have a gun. this is enough. next question. i can t hear you. speak up. on the question about the uvalde consolidated school

spirit and other gay pride issues and gender identities. i think reasonable people would suggest that an elementary school kid shouldn t be learning about pansexual s or at the very least have a conversation about what that might look like. what it is saying is even if you raise the question as to whether or not it s appropriate, you are being called a bigot by a hypersensitive assistant principal. i reached out to the district and they tried to pretend this wasn t actually a threat on micro-aggressions to staff, that it was to conservative minded people who didn t actually receive the email. they were claiming this was a warning to the public. no, you are warning your teachers to shut up. it made no sense whatsoever which is why i think they canceled their interview with me after i started asking some of these questions. that s generally how it goes. shannon: on both stories,
