While popular explanations for the group's influence often focus on the NRA's lobbying and campaign donations, it receives lesser attention for the mass mobilization efforts that make these political endeavours possible. On Target explores why the NRA is so influential and how we can understand the group's impact on firearms policy in the United States. The book looks at how the NRA both draws upon and shapes historical meta-narratives regarding the role of firearms in America's national identity and how this is part of a larger effort to expand the community of gun owners. Noah S. Schwartz demonstrates how the NRA portrays a vision of the past through events like its annual meeting; communications like American Rifleman magazine and NRA TV; and points of contact including the National Firearms Museum. Based on fieldwork in Indiana and Virginia, including participant observation at NRA events and firearm safety classes, thematic analysis of audio-visual material, and interviews with NRA executives and members, On Target sheds light on the ways in which the NRA tells stories to build and mobilize a politically motivated network of gun owners."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 610 20 $a National Rifle Association of America $x Influence. 650 0 $a Storytelling $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Firearms owners $x Political activity $z United States. 650 0 $a Gun control $z United States. 610 26 $a National Rifle Association of America $x Influence. 650 6 $a Art de conter $x Aspect social $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a ProprieÌtaires d'armes aÌ feu $x ActiviteÌ politique $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Armes aÌ feu $x ControÌle $z EÌtats-Unis. 610 27 $a National Rifle Association of America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533396 650 7 $a Gun control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00949382 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Storytelling $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01134189 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Schwartz, Noah S. $t On target. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2022 $z 9781487551957 $z 9781487551957 $w (OCoLC)1308508003 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240416012022.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021032021.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C69DBEAA6FD711EE93D6B80232ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
