Friday, May 27 is held the congress of the NRA, pro-arms association of the United States. This provokes anger, three days after the massacre which caused the death of 19 children in a school.

Friday, May 27 was held the congress of the NRA, American pro-arms association in Houston, Texas (United States). Three days after the killing in an elementary school in Uvalde (Texas), anti-gun protesters do not hide their anger. “Normal people can have guns, we’re not here to kill, we’re here to protect“, defend the pro-weapons.

The killing in Uvalde (Texas), which caused the death of 19 children and two of their teachers, is on everyone’s mind. The NRA is deeply criticized, by the American president himself. “By the grace of God, we must stand up to the gun lobby“, implored Joe Biden, President of the United States. But the NRA finances the campaigns of elected officials, especially Republicans. In 2020, it had given $ 29 million to Donald Trump. Camille Guttin, special correspondent in Houston (United States United) depicts how pro-gun and anti-gun activists fought outside the convention center.
