NRA
Hi! I wanted to give you a quick head's up that the NRA article is very closely watched, so make sure that your material is sourced with the best possible sourcing and is written as neutrally as possible. For example, I would recommend that instead of using polling websites as sources, that you use secondary, independent sources like academic journal articles that mention and reflect on the polling data. The reason for this is that not all polling sites are reliable - even if they may seem like they are - and the secondary source helps validate this. It also helps show that this specific poll is notable enough to highlight in the article. This is especially important with controversial topics like the NRA, as you need to be able to show that the poll data has been mentioned by others and isn't being cherrypicked to back up a specific viewpoint. I hate to say it, but people can and have brought up questions like that with articles in the past, so you need to make sure that you have the best possible sourcing.
