Froman, who is the second female president of the NRA, noted that the NRA filed suit against Nagin and was able to secure an injunction stopping the confiscations. “[These people] hadn’t done anything wrong, and they were being told to give up their guns at a time when the government couldn’t protect them,” Froman...
