The gun-grabbing political left trotted out youngsters who wore images of school shooting victims around their necks and held signs bearing slogans such as “Am I Next?” outside of Friday’s National Rifle Association convention in Houston, a sickening new low for Democrats and their operatives.
In the latest of a seemingly endless series of tiresome temper tantrums that have become commonplace over the last several years, leftist hordes responded to the call to turn out in force at the NRA’s annual gathering only days after the horrific mass murder of 19 children and two teachers in their classroom by an 18-year-old lunatic with obvious mental health issues, yet another golden opportunity to exploit a terrible crisis to promote their political agenda.
And they brought their kids with them, stringing anti-Second Amendment messages and pictures of the victims from Uvalde around their necks and lining them up in a row to put a massive guilt trip on the tens of millions of law-abiding American gun owners who didn’t commit a bloody massacre and, of course, the media ate it up.

One group of anti-freedom activists staged a mock funeral, toting a child-sized casket and chanting “Protect our kids, not guns.”

Other leftist miscreants who showed up to push for the disarmament of millions of Americans included Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke, the bottom-feeding Democratic Party candidate for the Lone Star State governorship who was fresh off of disrupting a press conference filled with grieving victims for a political stunt, and he roused the rabble outside of the venue.

Another Democrat, the perpetually unhinged Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee whose district is in Houston demanded that the NRA “cancel itself” and that former President Trump cancel his scheduled speech at the NRA convention, while surrounded by children with signs on them.
"NRA, cancel yourself."

Gun confiscation advocate David Hogg, whose path to media stardom ran over the dead bodies of his own classmates who were murdered in the 2018 school shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, called for allies in the cause to shut down the NRA.

Others were even less eloquent, braying obscenities at the top of their lungs.

Fortunately, there was no armed confrontation which is what it seemed like batty Hollywood has-been Bette Midler was calling for when she tweeted out a call to arms for protesters to show up packing heat.

“AT THE GEORGE R BROWN CONVENTION CENTER IN HOUSTON TEXAS, THIS WEEKEND. Come armed,” tweeted the “Hocus Pocus” star in a message that didn’t receive the appropriate scrutiny from whoever at Twitter is tasked with taking down encouragements to engage in violence.
Despite the cacophony of whining and shouting, the NRA convention went on as scheduled with Trump bringing down the house on Friday as angry protesters and their child props raged in futility outside.

Remember democrats are the party of never letting a crisis go to waste.
Just sorry I wasnt at the NRA convention this year although I did send $250 to the NRA -ILA (Institute for Legislative Action.) yesterday.
They should arrest the scumbags for disturbing the peace . Uvalde is about mental illness and school security not guns !
You will be next if the Democrats stay in power. They make Billions of of your deaths.

A poster- ‘Protect Our Kids’. I agree.
The school principal should be hung in front of the school.
> Door open to the outside
> Teachers have no guns to defend the kids

ANOTHER POLITICAL STUNT BY DEMOCRATS, USING CHILDREN! WHO ALLOWS THEIR CHILDREN TO BE USED LIKE THIS?
I’m making over $17k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true.
This is where i started… http://Www.NetCash1.Com
The gun gabbers at the NRA convention agonizing over “saving the children” are essentially the same pro-abortion advocates who stood on the steps of the Supreme Court a couple of weeks ago chanting “…I’m killing the baby…I’m killing the baby….” They are a bunch of hypocrites displaying selective moral outrage.
Thats a lot of money for giving BJs 🤔 do you have to swallow?
Man alive- these vile people are scary. These are exactly the type of people who should NOT possess firearms!
Yes. Until adults have guns and are properly trained, any illegal, terrorist or deranged person can grab a gun, lock a door, and shoot a roomful of people. That’s why we have the second amendment.
After 911 we didn’t ban planes, we hardened cockpits. We’ve sent $53 BILLION to Ukraine but not one dollars to protect children from criminals or crazies while they are in a government t building.
