Teachers outraged NRA Convention resumes days after mass shooting in Uvalde
Protesters stood across from the George R. Brown Convention Center Saturday for several hours, shaming attendees of the NRA Convention as they walked inside."They have made their choice to let our children die, continue to die by selling these AR-15s that are weapons of mass destruction," said Rosemary Solano."Armed cops stood around and did nothing because they feared the AR-15.
