Both National Rifle Association Members and anti-NRA protestors traveled from across the country to be at the NRA Annual Meetings in Houston this weekend.
The annual meeting happens in the wake of the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, where a gunman unleashed a rampage earlier this week that left 19 children and two teachers dead.James Russell is a native Houstonian who came from Atlanta to protest the event.
There were fewer demonstrators outside of Discovery Green today in comparison to Friday, but more verbal sparring between those individuals and NRA members across the street at the George R. Brown Convention Center. "They have the right to as long as they don't incite any kind of violence or problems for people who attend the convention," said one NRA member.
