A few hours later, the number had increased to about 100-150 being generous. I could be off on my numbers but they seemed to bunch up along a barrier to give the impression of more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I heard later that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NLBq1Q8I6zo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Robert Francis O\u2019Rourke was speaking at an anti-gun rally<\/a><\/strong> in the park across from the convention center. It is disturbing that he is trying make political hay while many of the details are still not known and families are grieving. I agree with the Mayor of Uvalde when he called O\u2019Rourke \u201da sick son of a bitch.\u201d Fortunately, O&#8217;Rourke is behind Gov. Greg Abbott by anywhere from 7% to 10% if the polls are accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The demonstrators across the street were loud, were lead in chants by someone with a megaphone, had a drum, and played it up whenever they saw a TV camera. They also were a bit vulgar as the photo below illustrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_4857-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_4857-rotated.jpg 480w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_4857-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind the sign saying &#8220;NRA Go Away&#8221; was a protestor with a megaphone who seemed to be the chant leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_4835-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_4835-rotated.jpg 480w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_4835-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from that picture and the one below, whenever the media or photographers were there taking pictures, the crowd played up to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_4850-1-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_4850-1-rotated.jpg 480w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_4850-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There were a lot of people attending the NRA Annual Meeting who were filming it and taking pictures with their phones.

If so, I&#8217;ll try to get more and better pictures.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I arrived at the George Brown Center for the NRA Annual Meeting this morning, I saw about four&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[769,6027,5500,6022,6028,6029,6024],"class_list":["post-32161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-anti-gun-politicians","tag-anti-gun-protests","tag-houston-tx","tag-nra-annual-meeting-2022","tag-robert-francis-orourke-2","tag-texas-2022-governors-race","tag-uvalde-tx"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32161"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32167,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32161\/revisions\/32167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
