Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday gave two different speeches about gun control that went on at the same time – with two vastly different messages.

One was in Uvalde, speaking to the community impacted by gun violence in the wake of the Robb Elementary School shooting; the other was a pre-recorded message to the NRA convention in Houston.

Abbott canceled his in-person appearance at the National Rifle Association's annual meeting in the wake of the shooting in Uvalde last Tuesday, in which an 18-year-old shooter killed 19 elementary school students, two teachers and wounded 17 others. He instead held an in-person press conference in Uvalde and sent a pre-recorded message to the NRA audience.
