40% : While the NRA has had a long history of supporting GOP and pro-gun candidates, its endorsement of Trump came at a troubling time for the group, amid a spree of mass shootings in the U.S., including the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, when former head Wayne LaPierre controversially argued "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
29% : Mass shootings have been slightly on the rise since the pandemic, and have increased from 417 in 2017 -- when Trump left office -- and 429 during the last full year of his presidency.
