    The National Rifle Association of America is a United States-based arms rights defense group. Founded in 1871, the group has briefed its members on firearms legislation since 1934 and has lobbied directly for and against firearms legislation since 1975. Democrats and liberals often criticize the organization. Among the oldest organized critics of the NRA are the arms control defense groups Brady Campaign, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV), and Violence Policy Center (VPC). 21st - century groups include Everytown for Gun Safety (ex Mayors Against Illegal Guns), Moms Demand Action, and Americans for Responsible Solutions.

    Explanation:

    In February 2013, the editors of USA Today criticized the NRA for launching a flip-flop on the expansion of universal background controls for private sales and weapon shows, which it now opposes. The NRA offers discounts to its members in various companies through its corporate affiliate programs. For several years, and increased following the filming of Stoneman Douglas High School, "affiliated companies" have been targeted in social media to end their business dealings with the NRA. As a result, several large companies such as Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Hertz, Symantec, and MetLife have disassociated from the NRA, while others, such as FedEx, have refused to disaffiliate.
