Days after Uvalde massacre, NRA hosts annual summit

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Edward Keenan, Washington Bureau Chief Despite calls to cancel, the National Rifle Association's annual meeting went ahead as planned in Houston this weekend, a mere 482 kilometres away from Uvalde, Texas where just days prior one of the deadliest school shootings in the U.S. in over a decade left 21 people dead (including 19 children). Two weeks before that, 10 people were shot dead at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York in an act called "a hate crime and an act of racially motivated violent extremism." As the horror keeps repeating itself, how is it that nothing has changed even when data shows most Americans want some form of gun control?
