A mile-long procession of 52 buses carrying the belongings of various gun victims is traveling to Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) home and office in Texas.
The bus brigade with 4,368 empty seats represents the number of children killed by gun violence in the United States this year. Some of the belongings include the checkered Vans of 15-year-old Gracie Muehlberger, who was killed at her Santa Clarita, California, high school in 2019; Sandy Hook shooting victim Chase Kowalski’s kindergarten graduation card; and 2018 Parkland shooting victim Joaquin Oliver’s LeBron James Miami Heat jersey.
Oliver’s father, Manuel, organized the procession and has titled this demonstration the “NRA Children’s Museum.”

Oliver also plans to hand-deliver a letter written by his son five years before he died to the Texas senator.
“I am writing this letter to talk to you about how were going to solve this gun law movement,” the letter reads. “Most of you have a problem with the idea of universal back round check. Why are you mad that there’s a back round check it’s for your own good maybe you are fond of having crazy people with death machines. You shouldn’t have anything against back round checks if you’re innocent.”

Cruz has sustained his advocacy for the Second Amendment, most recently opting to blame school security during the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde, Texas. He has not responded to the demonstration.
