NRA’s Gross Hypocrisy On Full Display During Trump’s Speaking Appearance

Just days after the deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas left 19 school children and two adults dead, the NRA is holding its yearly fundraising conference in Houston, with guest speeches from Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott, and others. But, even though the evening is all about celebrating American gun culture and perpetuating the cycle of gun violence, audience members will not be allowed to bring their guns to Trump’s speech as the Secret Service will provide security instead. Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and Michael Shure discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at the National Rifle Association's Annual Leadership Forum on Friday. But audience members at the group's annual meeting, being held this year in Houston, won't be able to carry guns during his address.

The conference is going ahead in the shadow of Tuesday's mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school that killed at least 21 people — including 19 students.

According to the NRA, the Secret Service is taking control of the hall during Trump's speech and is prohibiting attendees from having firearms, firearms accessories and knives. Ammunition, laser pointers, pepper spray, toy guns, backpacks and other items also won't be allowed.

The Secret Service will search attendees with magnetometers before they enter the hall, the NRA said.

This isn't the first time firearms have been off-limits during a part of the gun group's annual convention. In 2018 a similar prohibition was put in place during a speech by then-Vice President Mike Pence."
