Would you expect (nitromethyl)benzene to be more or less reactive then methylbenzene toward aromatic electrophilic substitution?

Aminobenzene

When aminobenzene is subjected to standard nitration conditions {HONO2/(HO)2SO2} poor yields 1-amino-3-nitrobenzene are obtained. Briefly explain this result using resonance molecular structure formulas to support your arguments.
