2024 GOP hopefuls attend NRA convention amidst mass shooting aftermath.

Several potential 2024 GOP presidential candidates, including former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, are attending the National Rifle Association (NRA) convention in Indianapolis to court gun rights activists. The convention comes just days after mass shootings in Kentucky and Tennessee. The NRA's power has waned in recent years, but the organization remains influential among conservatives. Republican contenders are focused on appealing to the party's pro-gun rights base, with the NRA endorsing Trump in 2016. Gun rights advocates have described Trump's presidency as a mixed bag, and the legacy of his presidency on gun rights could evolve over years and decades as his three Supreme Court selections issue new rulings.
