NRA Losing Political Clout?

A propaganda ridden article from the L.A. Times who really, really want you to believe the Democrats aren't looking for more gun control laws.

NRA's political clout is waning - Los Angeles Times

Left wing communist propaganda.

As long as we continue to have Presidential elections decided by a few hundred thousand votes here and there, the NRA will remain very powerful.

It is with the left. I like JPFO.

The NRA and its colleague organizations are quite powerful even in a Democratic-controlled Congress, and they are likely to stay that way for quite some time. As an organization that more or less focuses on a single, tightly-bunched group of issues (guns, owning guns, gunmakers, carrying guns, use of guns, etc, etc), the NRA only has to concentrate on one area. The member base is enormous, and that means money. The NRA gives money to pro-gun candidates who are likely to win, and in that way, maintains influence.

Once I'm paid up to Life Member, I'm going to keep giving annually. It will pay off not only in terms of my constitutional right to bear arms, but one day, in my ability to protect the same right for all Americans.
