Gun lobby sets up news operation


The operation will be a platform for
the NRA in the US elections

The US gun lobby group, the National Rifle Association (NRA), has entered the world of broadcasting.

An NRA-owned media corporation has begun offering internet-based radio content and has further plans for a television deal and a radio station.

The group is expected to use its media outlets to promote its opposition to proposed restrictions on gun ownership, an issue in the coming US elections.

A conservative radio host from Oklahoma has been hired as its first journalist.

Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice-president, told the Associated Press news agency the organisation would become a "legitimate packager of news".
