The NRA Is Still a Staple of Daily American Life
Even as the Parkland shooting has energized gun-control advocates, the organization’s youth programming continues to draw teens across the country.
Even after the impassioned response to the school shooting in February in Parkland, Florida, the NRA is not struggling with popularity or support: The group’s membership has reportedly risen in recent months. In March, its political-victory fund raised the most money in the course of a single month that it has in 15 years, bringing in a total of nearly $2.4 million.
Indeed, as the NRA hosts its national convention this around 80,000 attendees, and there in the 10,000-seat auditorium where President Trump spoke there Friday, his fourth year speaking at the convention.
