As part of his work on a task force to address gun violence, Vice President Joe Biden will meet with a representative from the National Rifle Association, the Hill reports. The meeting is one of a series of meetings Biden will hold this week with both gun control advocates and gun rights advocates. 

Biden will meet Wednesday with gun safety organizations and shooting victims groups and on Thursday will meet with gun ownership organizations and sportsmen who use guns recreationally, according to the White House. 

NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said the organization accepted an invitation received from the White House late Friday. 

“We are sending a rep to hear what they have to say,” Arulanandam said.
