Some of the attendees brought children with them. The NRA, the largest gun lobbying organization in the US, will hold its annual meeting May 27-29 in Houston, Texas. Former US President Donald Trump is expected to speak at the event. On Tuesday, 18-year-old resident of the Texas town of Yuvalde Salvador Ramos opened fire at an elementary school. Subsequently, the attacker was killed by the police. Ramos is known to have purchased two rifles on May 22, less than a week after he turned 18. Texas Governor Gregg Abbott said a school shooting in Uwald killed 19 children and two adults and injured 17 others. US President Joe Biden has repeatedly vowed to address the issue, including as vice president of the United States under Barack Obama's administration when there was a tragedy at Sandy Hook. Many supporters of tighter gun control in the United States do not hide their disappointment with the achievements of the head of state in this field, given that this issue was one of the central places in his election program and favorably distinguished him from other contenders for the presidency.
