For months, the group has been under attack by gun control advocates, the most vocal of whom are the grieving Parkland teenagers. Most of the videos were about the “lying” mainstream media, as NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch put it. After Pence and Trump’s speeches, I felt a little uncomfortable walking around the convention center with a HuffPost media badge on my chest. I was quite taken aback by the fact that almost everyone I talked to denied that the gun control movement was having a moment. But many people told me that the “fake news” media had created an anti-gun narrative and it didn’t reflect what was happening on the ground.
