'NRA in crisis’ ad campaign launched ahead of gun group’s annual convention by stableford
On the eve of the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Indianapolis, Ind., the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety has unveiled a new ad campaign that argues the organization is “becoming more fringe and more toxic to the Americans it has long claimed to represent.”
An accompanying report highlights what Everytown calls the “scandals and investigations rocking the NRA,” including a recent New Yorker exposé detailing how a small group of NRA executives, contractors and vendors “extracted hundreds of millions of dollars from the nonprofit’s budget.” Everytown, in turn, filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service challenging the NRA’s tax-exempt status.
President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are scheduled to appear at the NRA convention on Friday. Trump will deliver the keynote address at the NRA’s Leadership Forum for the third consecutive year.
