A day before President Barack Obama is scheduled to release Vice
President Joe Biden’s recommendations to curb gun violence in the United
States, the National Rifle Association told U.S. News and World Report that
they have seen membership grow by 250,000 in the month since the Sandy Hook
Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
Politico reported membership had grown by more than 100,000 five days
ago. The NRA says that when Politico reported the story, membership was
close to 200,000, but the number has drastically grown in just five days.
The association now has over 4.25 million members, but the NRA says that
number is always fluctuating as memberships expire and new members join.
“I would say that every time President Obama opens his mouth and Sen. [
Dianne] Feinstein opens her mouth and they talk about gun bans and
restricting the rights of law abiding Americans, people pay attention to
that and sign up,” says Andrew Arulanandam, the NRA’s public affairs
director. |
