Several potential contenders for the Republican presidential nomination are making appearances at the National Rifle Association (NRA) annual meeting in Indianapolis over the weekend, with the issue of gun control under scrutiny following recent mass shootings. Among the expected attendees are former Vice President Mike Pence and former President Donald Trump, who have been seen as divided following the Capitol riot of 2021. Other participants include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, and candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Those taking part are to speak at a “leadership forum,” with some, including Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, making video appearances. Gen Z and millennial voters, who have expressed skepticism about Republican gun policies, are seen as another key bloc for the party, although some party leaders have called for more influence for younger Republicans. Meanwhile, Republicans attending the convention have emphasized their support for gun rights over proposed restrictions.
