The National Rifle Association (NRA) is an important actor in the American gun debate. While popular explanations for the group s influence often focus on the NRA s lobbying and campaign donations, it receives lesser attention for the mass mobilization efforts that make these political endeavours possible. I_x000D_ On TargetI explores why the NRA is so influential and how we can understand the group s impact on firearms policy in the United States. The book looks at how the NRA both draws upon and shapes historical meta-narratives regarding the role of firearms in America s national identity and how this is part of a larger effort to expand the community of gun owners. Noah S. Schwartz demonstrates how the NRA portrays a vision of the past through events such as its annual meeting; communications such as IAmerican RiflemanI magazine and NRA TV; and points of contact including the National Firearms Museum. _x000D_ Based on fieldwork in Indiana and Virginia, including participant observation at NRA events and firearm safety classes, thematic analysis of audio-visual material, and interviews with NRA executives and members, IOn TargetI sheds light on the ways in which the NRA tells stories to build and mobilize a politically motivated network of gun owners.
