Guns will be banned during Donald Trump’s speech at the NRA conference – By Amanda Pérez Pintado (USA Today) / May 26, 2022
The National Rifle Association recommitted Wednesday to holding its annual convention over the weekend in Houston after a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, that killed at least 21 people.
Texas politicians and former President Donald Trump are scheduled to address a leadership forum sponsored by the NRA’s lobbying arm.
Trump is set to speak at the event on Friday where audience members will not be allowed to carry guns. The Secret Service will take control of the hall during Trump’s speech and will not permit firearms, firearm accessories or knives, among other items, according to the NRA.
That policy predates the Uvalde school shooting and the same parameters were in place when then-Vice President Mike Pence mad an appearance at the 2018 convention.
