Next week, the NRA is slated to launch another seven-figure round of TV ads in Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania. An earlier NRA ad buy attacked Clinton on Benghazi. Democrats running for president have traditionally shown “trepidation” about calling for more gun control, notes Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union. But this year, Schlapp told the Guardian, “the NRA and gun enthusiasts are faced with the specter of a Democrat running for the White House embracing additional gun control”. “This race is probably more about the supreme court than anything else from the NRA’s perspective,” said the NRA board member.
