THE NATIONAL GUARD, THE NATIONAL BOARD FOR THE PROMOTION OF RIFLE PRACTICE, AND THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION: PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS AND THE RISE OF A LOBBY FOR PRIVATE GUN OWNERSHIP by JEFFREY A. MARLIN Under the Direction of Dr. H. Robert Baker ABSTRACT Today, the strength of the National Rifle Association (NRA) is understood by the general public and many scholars to be dependent on the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the right of individuals to own firearms. This dissertation challenges that understanding by focusing on three organizations, the NRA, the National Guard and the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice (NBPRP). While each organization appears in today's world to be distinct and independent, this dissertation reveals how they garnered strength from a symbiotic relationship.

ANÁLISIS E INVESTIGACIÓN El pasado 7 de mayo la Asociación Nacional del Rifle (NRA) dio a conocer a su nuevo presidente, el polémico teniente coronel retirado Oliver North, quien liderará a la organización ante un contexto que ha polarizado a un amplio segmento de la sociedad estadounidense en su contra, por el uso indiscriminado de armas de fuego, cuyas consecuencias han cobrado la vida de miles de inocentes. Pese a lo anterior, la influencia política y económica de esta asociación parece mayor que nunca en las estructuras del poder político y económico estadounidense. Present and future of the National Rifle Association and its economic and political influence in the United States On May 7, the National Rifle Association (NRA) announced its new president, the controversial retired lieutenant colonel Oliver North, who will lead the organization in a context that has polarized a broad segment of American society against it, due to the indiscriminate use of firearms, whose consequences have claimed the lives of thousands of innocents. Despite this, the political and economic influence of this association seems greater than ever in the structures of American political and economic power. 1 NOTA DE COYUNTURA Introducción El pasado 7 de mayo la Asociación Nacional del Rifle (NRA) dio a conocer a su nuevo presidente, el polémico teniente coronel, ya retirado, Oliver North, quien en su momento fue partícipe del escándalo Irán-Contra que puso en entredicho la presidencia de Ronald Reagan.

Rifles nda Reinforcement: The aN tional Rifle Association’s Partisan Approach to Gun Ownership Abstract The NRAas h long been the dominant player in the battle vo er gun control. Scholars have attributed this dominance in large part to the NRA’s ability to mobilize its membership when necessary. Lacombe (2018) has written of the NRA’s cultivation of a politicized social identity around gun ownership that assists it in doing so. In this thesis, I show that the NRA ash tied this gun owner identity to conservatism and to the Republican party. I find that the NRA’s homogenous membership composition advantages it in its strategy of developing a partisan politicized gun-owner identity among its members. The NRA lde iberately taps into members’ existing identities in the process of cultivating such an identity. Using Liliana Mason’s (2018) work on identity reinforcement as a framework, I demonstrate that the NRA ash much to gain from facilitating the alignment of a gun owner identity with a Republican partisan identity.

Korea find a ‘new normal’ BY KIM GAMEL AND MATTHEW KEELER Stars and Stripes PYEONGTAEK, South Korea — American troops and civilians packed South Korean restaurants and barbershops for the first time in about three months Wednesday after the U.S. military lifted most anti-coronavirus restrictions for bases everywhere but the Seoul area. Soldiers also withdrew from the gates at Camp Humphreys, Camp Casey and bases in the southeastern city of Daegu as the Army ended the need for health questionnaires and temperature checks aimed at preventing the spread of the virus.
