America's biggest gun lobby to hold major gathering in shadow of mass shootings
HOUSTON, May 26 (Reuters) - America's biggest gun lobby, the #NationalRifleAssociation, pressed ahead with preparations for its annual gathering starting on Friday in #Houston, just 280 miles (450 km) from the scene of the country's worst school shooting in a decade.
A page on the #NRA's website dedicated to the gathering is dominated by a message offering its "deepest sympathies" to the victims of Tuesday's #schoolshooting. The rest of the page promotes the annual meeting, where #Republicans including former President Donald Trump are scheduled to speak.

@stux Nope, not in the least. Airplanes are tools that serve many purposes (transportation, murder/military, fun, etc) and happened to be exploited to kill innocent people.
No different than guns, they are tools that serve many purposes (to feed people, military, fun, sport), and they were misused to kill people.
They are very much equivalent here.

@freemo Huh, how come these things mostly happen in the country that says they cannot do anything about it
This doesn't make any sense, the same could be said about a fork or sand even!

@stux Well, what you should be aasking is why do these things always seem to happen in gun free zones.
In the USa you cant have a gun on school property, or within a km or so of a school. So even if I own a home if they build a school near me I can not have any guns in my home...
So the real question to ask is, why do these things happen mostly in places where guns are banned?
