Answer:

The National Rifle Association of America is a United States-based arms rights defense group. Founded in 1871, the group has briefed its members on firearms legislation since 1934 and has lobbied directly for and against firearms legislation since 1975. Democrats and liberals often criticize the organization. Among the oldest organized critics of the NRA are the arms control defense groups Brady Campaign, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV), and Violence Policy Center (VPC). 21st- century groups include Everytown for Gun Safety (ex Mayors Against Illegal Guns), Moms Demand Action, and Americans for Responsible Solutions.

Explanation:

In February 2013, the editors of USA Today criticized the NRA for launching a flip-flop on the expansion of universal background controls for private sales and weapon shows, which it now opposes. The NRA offers discounts to its members in various companies through its corporate affiliate programs. For several years, and increased following the filming of Stoneman Douglas High School, "affiliated companies" have been targeted in social media to end their business dealings with the NRA. As a result, several large companies such as Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Hertz, Symantec, and MetLife have disassociated from the NRA, while others, such as FedEx, have refused to disaffiliate.

Long lines at the gas pumps were a result of what economic problem?
Phoenix [80]
In the 1970s, the supply of gas was affected by price controls imposed by the Nixon administration and then by an oil embargo by Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

As a political move aimed at pleasing voters, President Richard Nixon announced in 1971 (prior to his reelection campaign of 1972), "I am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages throughout the United States.” The wage and price controls the Nixon administration sought to put in place interfered with natural market forces and oil supplies were reduced.  That problem was magnified in 1973 when oil exporting countries in the Arab world imposed an embargo on supplies to the United States due to US support of Israel in a war that Israel was fighting against a coalition of Arab states.

Both factors -- lingering efforts at price controls and continued control of the oil and gas market by OPEC nations -- played into the long lines at gas pumps seen in America in the 1970s.
