The National Rifle Association is set to hold its 2022 annual meeting in Houston on Friday, bringing together its top brass and several notable conservatives, including former President Donald Trump, for the first time in three years.
The NRA’s annual meeting was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but this year, the organization is moving ahead with its plans, holding the meeting at a time when both gun rights and the organization itself have come under intense scrutiny, especially after a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, left 21 dead.
Who is participating?
Despite the controversy surrounding this year’s convention, a number of high-profile Republicans are set to participate in the event, with some scheduled to deliver speeches:
Trump
Gregg Abbott (in video)
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson
Etc.....
