The N.R.A. Speaks

Bullet Points:
  • The National Rifle Association said its “deepest sympathies” are with the families and victims of the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school massacre.
  • The NRA’s comment came a day after an 18-year-old gunman armed with an AR-15 style rifle killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School.
  • The incident is the latest in a series of shootings at schools and other public spaces that gun-control advocates blame on loose U.S. firearm laws.
  • Ex-President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the NRA’s annual convention in Houston this week, as are Gov. Greg Abbott and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, and other prominent Republicans.
