The Backstory Behind the Latest NRA Controversy
On February 14, 2018, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz entered the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and opened fire. Multiple students and teachers either died or sustained serious injuries.
After the massacre made the news, many Americans expressed outrage. The FBI also came under fire for failing to act upon a tip they received in January regarding Cruz and the (then) potential dangers that he posed.
Calls for gun control also dominated social media following the aforementioned high school shooting. Some people slammed the NRA as complicit and responsible for lost lives, despite the fact that Cruz had absolutely no ties to the NRA whatsoever.
