Vox confuses the NRA with the NRA
Yes, in many cases acronyms stand for more than one actual entity. NBC can stand for the National Broadcasting Company, Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical in the military, the National Bank of Canada, and more.
NRA has just as many. Here’s a sample from The Free Dictionary.
| NRA | National Rifle Association |
| NRA | National Restaurant Association |
| NRA | National Recreation Area (US National Park Service) |
| NRA | National Roads Authority (Ireland) |
| NRA | National Register of Archives |
| NRA | National Recovery Administration |
| NRA | Normal Retirement Age |
| NRA | National Recovery Act |
| NRA | National Resistance Army (Uganda) |
| NRA | Non-Resident Alien |
| NRA | National Regulatory Authority |

In Wood Dale, IL a tent at a festival collapsed and killed one person and injured others. Here’s my video of the light show from my front porch. It was eerily quiet. Lots of light, very little sound, mostly wind.
