What the left considered during NRA’s convention

1. It's time for the NRA to focus more on safety than the Second Amendment

From Dallas News: "You can ignore the debate, or you can steer it. The latter is our challenge to you while here in Dallas."

2. This is a bad time for Trump to appear before the NRA

From The Washington Post: "And this time, Trump will probably hurt their cause more than help it."

3. The NRA can be so secretive about its Russian donors because it blocked campaign finance reform

From NBC News: "The organization fights transparency at every turn, and now many wonder where its money comes from."
