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
