There is no specific or publicly available statistic detailing how many members of the National Rifle Association (NRA) have been convicted of murder. The NRA, as an organization, does not track or disclose such information about its members. Additionally, individual criminal behavior is not a reflection of the organization as a whole, and many members adhere to laws and promote responsible gun ownership.
The National Recovery Association (NRA) was begun by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The NRA was an umbrella organization that was purposed with assisting the recovery of the United States from the Great Depression.
The NRA claims they have 5,000,000 dues paying members.
In 2008, The NRA gave $662,982 to Republicans in the House and $156,150 in the Senate which comes to a total of $819,132. The NRA also spent $4,129,788 for the Republican party via independent expenditures (ads made without the approval or knowledge of the candidate) and communication costs (internal political messages aimed at members of an organization or union or possibly even company executives).
If you mean "why was the NRA formed," originally it was formed in the 1800s to promote shooting sports and marksmanship. Since that time, it has also become a political organization, promoting gun rights for the American public as well.
Yes, the NRA has endorsed Democrats over Republicans in the past. However, it is relatively uncommon for the NRA to endorse Democrats, as the organization generally aligns more with conservative views on gun control. Endorsements by the NRA are typically given to candidates who strongly support Second Amendment rights and advocate for less restrictive gun legislation.
NO! The NRA is a constitutional org that focuses on preserving the 2nd Amendment and teaching the proper uses for firearms. It's generally supported by conservatives and other constitutionalists and generally opposed by liberals and other anti-constitutional persons.
