Bette Midler is encouraging her followers to "come armed" to an organized protest at the National Rifle Association (NRA) conference on May 26.
The actress made the remark while responding to a tweet suggesting, "PEOPLE SHOULD SHOW UP AND PROTEST AT THIS CONFERENCE." Midler tweeted Wednesday, "at the George R Brown convention center in Houston, Texas, this weekend.
